Equipment:  Macintosh

Summary: This test tool application demonstrates the use of the standard 
movie controllers and its manipulation of movie files.  This tool tests 
other functions to integrate QuickTimeTMwith other components of the 
System Software.

Features:
Multiple Movie Files
More than one movie an be opened at once.  By selecting "Open Multiple", 
the user can input the number of movies from the same movie file to open.  
This is useful for multiple movie testing.

Standard Movie Controllers
The user can control movies with operations : start, stop, sound on/off, 
frame advance, playbar, size grow box, hide and show of controllers.  The 
special Movie Controller window allows the user to eliminate movie 
controllers from any window.

Movie Editing
Cut, copy, paste, clear and undo of movies. This tool supports both 
editing conventions with either the standard controllers or by copying 
movie selections using the Movie Toolbox.  Use the shift key and move the 
playbar to make a selection.  The selection portion of the playbar turns 
black.  After that, all items in the Edit menu will function.  Movies 
copied to the clipboard will include both the poster PICT and the 'moov' 
sequence.  The Finder will show only the Poster PICT.

Looping
Both forms of looping blayback are supported : normal and palindrome 
looping.  Palindrome loop involves playing forwards, then backwards then 
forwards again.  You can perform this operation on the single active 
movie or on multiple movies.

Goto Beginning or End
You can hop to the beginning or end of the active movie or for all 
movies.
This can be particularly useful when putting multiple movies in synch.

Bit Depth switching
Changing the monitor bit depths from black&white, 4, 16, 256 colors in 
any order and in any combination.  Switching occurs during a set interval 
time.

Heap Scrambling
During movie play, you can invoke heap scrambling.  This involves moving 
memory around every time a toolbox call uses the memory manager.  This 
can involve scrambling the system heap or application heap.

SysBeep interrupt
The CPU can invoke a SysBeep call during a set interval time (in ticks).  
When a movie is currently open, a SysBeep will result only as a menubar 
flash.  However, if a movie is without a sound track or a movie is 
closed, the SysBeep will beep normally.

Define Window Type
Rather than using just the standard "square" window shape, MegaMovies 
uses a special WDEF resource for displaying various window sizes.  The 
standard Macintosh WDEFs are also included.  Note that when selecting a 
particular window shape, all movies opened after that will reflect that 
change.

Hiding and Showing of Controllers

Movie Status - Opens a window displaying the current movie being 
examined.  It will tell you all you need to know about movie controllers, 
frames/sec performance, playback rates, etc.
