Controlling Movie Playback

This section describes a number of high-level functions provided by the Movie Toolbox that allow your application to play movies. For information about how to control a movie's playback rate, see "Working with Movie Time" beginning on page 2-169.

You can use the StartMovie and StopMovie functions to start and stop movies.

The Movie Toolbox provides functions that can be used to control your position within a movie. You can use two functions, GoToBeginningOfMovie and GoToEndOfMovie, to set the position at either the beginning or the end of a movie. These functions are described in this section. Functions that work with time bases, such as SetMovieTimeValue and GetMovieTimeScale, can be used to control the current position anywhere within a movie. These advanced functions are described in "Functions That Modify Movie Properties" beginning on page 2-142.
