Overview

The NSMovie class implements a wrapper for a QuickTime Movie object, providing a simple interface for loading a movie into memory. These wrappers are known as movies.

The movie data can come from a URL or a pasteboard, including the drag-and-drop and cut-and-paste pasteboards. The data can be of any type recognized by QuickTime, including nonvideo data such as pure audio or even still images. Once loaded, you can obtain a pointer to the movie data and use the extensive QuickTime API to manipulate the data.

You can access information about the movie data an NSMovie object encapsulates by using the QTMovie class.
