Codec name not displaying in QuickTime Player's Movie Info

Description

When there are multiple components that can decode the same video format, QuickTime Player fails to display the codec name in the Movie Info window. For example, H.264 displays something like ", 320 x 240, Millions" when in an mp4 or mkv with Perian, but "H.264, 320 x 240, Millions" without Perian. QuickTime Player pulls this string from the component name of the component used, which is only available from the resources. I'm not sure yet if there's something wrong with FFusionCodecs.r or if it's a bug in QuickTime Player or in the QuickTime API.

I can confirm this. I'm seeing the same issue with 1.0b2 and QuickTime 7.1.5.

Erm, I should add, this doesn't seem to be a QuickTime bug, because when using avc1decoder (http://www003.upp.so-net.ne.jp/mycometg3/), the codec name is displayed as 'avc1decoder' in the info window.

avc1decoder uses its own creator code; we use Apple's.

Looks like this is fixed in QuickTime 7.2
