Interesting historical note: this "Dr. Dobbs Journal" article was written by the president of the company sued by Apple later in 1994 for the re-use of Quicktime-for-Windows source code in VFW, eventually leading to Microsoft's 1997 "Apple bailout" settlement.
"Mark is president of the San Francisco Canyon Company, which developed QuickTime for Windows for Apple Computer. Canyon publishes the Movie Toolkit, a C++ class library for manipulating QuickTime and AVI movie files, and Canyon Clipz!. Canyon's How to Digitize Video will be published by John Wiley in early 1994."

"The lawsuit Apple Computer v. San Francisco Canyon Co., filed on December 6, 1994, alleged that the San Francisco Canyon Company used some of the code developed under contract to Apple in their additions to Video for Windows. Apple expanded the lawsuit to include Intel and Microsoft on February 10, 1995, alleging that Microsoft and Intel knowingly used the software company to aid them in stealing several thousand lines of Apple's QuickTime code in their effort to improve the performance of Video for Windows."
