Generating Pictures From Movies

The Movie Toolbox provides a set of functions that allow your application to create QuickDraw pictures from movies, tracks, and posters. This section discusses those functions.

You can use the GetMoviePict function to create a picture from a movie or its preview; you can use the GetTrackPict function to create a picture from a track. The GetMoviePosterPict function lets you create a picture that contains a movie's poster. If a movie or track has no spatial representation, the returned picture is empty--that is, the upper-left and lower-right coordinates are equal.
