Description

The CocoaDVDPlayer project demonstrates how to play DVD-Video media in a Cocoa application using DVD Playback Services, the API for the DVD Playback framework introduced in Mac OS X v10.3. The project builds an application with a full set of controls and a resizable video window that maintains the correct aspect ratio. Other features include bookmarks, multiple viewing angles, and a playback timer. The project also shows how to register for and handle DVD events, and how to implement error-handling.
