I'm very keen on the QuickTime developments in MC 2.3B3. 
Unfortunately, some of my customers will not allow QuickTime to be 
used on their Windows systems!  Therefore, I need to know exactly 
what functionality is available using Video for Windows so I can plan 
the type of training interactions that I can provide using MC 2.3.

For example, which of the following are supported with Video for Windows:
- player objects
- player object properties:
   - fileName
   - showController
   - alwaysBuffer
   - startTime, endTime
   - showSelection
   - playSelection
   - currentTime
   - playRate
   - callbacks
   - duration
   - timescale
   - formattedWidth, formattedHeight
   - paused
- player object messages?

If player objects can't be used with Video for Windows, how much 
equivalent functionality is supported using the older style "play 
videoClip" command?  For example, is it possible to display a 
controller which the user can interact with to play, pause, stop, 
rewind, step forward/backward?  Also, can I tell the dimensions of a 
video clip for on-screen sizing, or where and when a clip has been 
paused by the user?

I need to know these capabilities ASAP as it might be a show-stopper!

Thanks for any help or feedback.
