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:

• "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.
