Programming With QuickTime VR 2.1
When you create a QuickTime VR movie, you need to add a special piece of user data that identifies which movie controller to invoke for this movie. The movie controller type for QuickTime VR 2.0 movies is 'qtvr' . This user data is examined by the Movie Toolbox when an application calls the NewMovieController function for that movie. Listing 1 shows how to add the appropriate user data to a new movie.
Listing 1 Specifying the QuickTime VR movie controller
UserData myUserData;
OSType controllerSubType = FOUR_CHAR_CODE('qtvr';
myUserData = GetMovieUserData(theMovie);
SetUserDataItem(myUserData, &controllerSubType,
sizeof(controllerSubType), kQTControllerType, kQTControllerID);
The constants kQTControllerType and kQTControllerID are defined by QuickTime VR:
enum {
kQTControllerType = FOUR_CHAR_CODE('ctyp').
kQTControllerID = 1
};
