QuickTime does allow cue points, but I have not used them very often. I have used the property 'the movieTime'. On a project that I worked on, there were 3 videos of almost 10 minutes each. Along with playing them straight through, the option of playing pieces of the videos was also available. What I had to do was get the movieTime of the segments to be played, and then said as long as the movieTime was > than x and the movieTime was < y play. --------------------------- Carl D.
