Notes & Comments

The code treats a QTPlayer object differently than an image in that the QTPlayer/MovieController will correctly deal with matrices and bounds whereas Images (GraphicsImporterDrawer) requires more work on the Applications behalf to deal with this.

Sample code has more comments.

General Comments

- QTSession.open and close:

A QTSession.open will perform a gestalt check to ensure that QuickTime is present and is initialized. This is a required call before any QuickTime Java classes can be used.

When the user closes the window the program will quit, first calling QTSession.close to terminate QuickTime. It is necessary for programs to call QTSession.close if they have previously called QTSession.open in order to shut down QuickTime properly.
