Movie Data Exchange Components Reference

This section describes the functions that your movie data exchange component may support. Many of these functions are optional--your component should support only those functions that are appropriate to it.

This section is divided into the following topics:

"Importing Movie Data" discusses the functions that allow the Movie Toolbox to import movie data using the services of a movie data import component.
"Configuring Movie Data Import Components" describes the functions that allow applications to configure a movie data import component prior to importing movie data.
"Exporting Movie Data" tells you about the functions that allow the Movie Toolbox to export movie data using the services of a movie data export component.
"Configuring Movie Data Export Components" provides information about the functions that allow applications to configure a movie data export component prior to exporting movie data.

All of the functions described in "Configuring Movie Data Import Components" and "Configuring Movie Data Export Components" are optional. Your import or export component must be able to work properly if none of these functions is called.
