support. and what about an eq?

Hello everyone.
I've finally gotten something working that I think you'll find
interesting.
I've taken one of the apple samples from the adc, and made it
completely accessible with a bit of help from a friend who was
visiting this weekend. The program is a dvd player, and while
it doesn't give you the name of the dvd like apple's dvd player
does, it does give you 100% control over the control of playing
your dvd the way you want it played.
There's actually two windows when you run the softcon dvd player.
One is the viewing window, where he movies are shown, the other
one is where the controls are kept.
You can play, pause, stop, and eject the disk. You can also
scan forward/backword, go forward/backward by scene, set and go
to bookmarks, and there's even status items to tell you what
title number is playing, and which scene within that title
you're on. There's also a toggle display there giving either
the elapsed time of the dvd's current selection, or if you click
this time display (use a shift-control-command-space bar) you'll
change it to how much time is left in the current title. I know
most of these options are there too in the apple provided dvd
player, but as far as I know, we can't get at these kinds of
things. With this player, you can see everything on it, and
there's even a button to change camera angle if the current
title supports it.
Volume control is there too, and the menu/title button will take
you back to the selection menu so you can choose something else
to watch. Give it a try, and let me know what you'd like to see
added to it, or if you find something that doesn't work.
For the moment, I'm going to try to add a few things to it, but
not much of the interface will change, since XTools is such a
pain to work with. I may add additional features if they can be
added though w/o too much difficulty. Straight code isn't a
problem, only interface items, so download it, and give it a try.

Thanks, and I certainly hope this helps someone.
