Title: Re: playselection
I'm completely stuck, hope someone can help me...

Mac 9.2.2 using MetaCard 2.5B5:

In an application I display video sequences with (the script is somewhat simplified):
   
  set loc of player "visp" to -160,-250
 set the filename of player "visp" to "/Signes/MetaCardMappe/IVANA-MC/xmf/alene5.mpg"

 set currenttime of player "visp" to 20000
  set the starttime of player "visp" to  20000
 
  set the endtime of player "visp" to 90000
  set the playselection of player "visp" to true
 set loc of player "visp" to 410,126 
  start player visp

This works beatifully with QuickTime 5, but with QT 6 just a little more than1 second of the video is displayed. I need to be able to set the endtime at any point in the video. Any suggestions?

Well, since I have not received any replies, I would like to give the answers myself. I guess I did not supply you with enough data. First of all: the above works well on QT 6.0.2 as well, but the original data have to be converted in another way. Since my original data come from milliseconds (video stored on a laser disc), with QT 5.0.2 I had to convert them as follows: tFromNumber*600/1000 and tToNumber*600/1000.  With QT 6.0.2 I have to convert the original milliseconds:  tFromNumber*90 and tToNumber*90. Don't ask me why, but it works.
