I had to change some stuff for the 64bit version. Put the newest
vlc.py in place and it worked.
But because the resizing / fullscreen doesn't work (at least in the
example) we looked for another solution for playing video.

It also has problems -> stopping the video will crash the bindings.

I also don't have time for that, maybe in a couple of months :-)

I don't understand all of the code and put a lot of research hours in
getting a working Movie Content Editor with the latest VLC binding on
a recent Mac.
They use the python pyobjc obejective C wrappers to set up a NSView
where VLC renders it video. I don't know how to implement it further.
I used objective C for some simple iOS apps, but never developed a
native app for mac osx.
I could clean it up a little bit if I have some time.

Just wanted to share a way to get the player working with qt and
python. I also posted a message on the Movie Content Editor
mailinglist; because their version won't work on a newer mac (10.6 or
10.7)
