Chapter 9 - Movie Data Exchange Components
This chapter discusses movie data exchange components. Movie data exchange components allow applications to move various types of data into and out of a QuickTime movie. These components provide data conversion services to and from standard QuickTime movie data formats. Movie data import components convert other data formats into QuickTime's movie data format; movie data export components convert QuickTime movie data into other formats.This chapter is divided into the following sections:
This chapter addresses developers of movie data exchange components. If you plan to create either a movie data import component or a movie data export component (or both), you should read the entire chapter. If you are writing an application that uses components of this type, you should read the first two sections ("About Movie Data Exchange Components" and "Using Movie Data Exchange Components"), and consult "Movie Data Exchange Components Reference" as appropriate.
- "About Movie Data Exchange Components" provides a general introduction to components of this type.
- "Using Movie Data Exchange Components" discusses how applications use these components.
- "Creating a Movie Data Exchange Component" describes how to create movie import and export components with sample programs for their implementation.
- "Movie Data Exchange Components Reference" presents detailed information about the functions that are supported by these components.
- "Summary of Movie Data Exchange Components" contains a condensed listing of the constants, data structures, and functions supported by these components.
As components, movie data exchange components rely on the facilities of the Component Manager. In order to use any component, your application must also use
the Component Manager. If you are not familiar with this manager, see the chapter "Component Manager" in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox. In addition, you should be familiar with the Movie Toolbox. See "Movie Toolbox" in Inside Macintosh: QuickTime for more information.
