Peter, I used MCI with MetaCard a long time ago and it worked; it allows you to play from a position to another position, so it may be a good approach for you. Scott Rossi has a reference at his site:

Although this doesn't help on the Mac...

Thanks for the link Ken. Do you have any simple MC/Rev coding examples of the use of this stuff? Also, do you know if the linked document is still reliable (for current Windows) given that it is dated 1991 and refers to OS/2 as well as Windows?!
I'm OK with the Mac side as I simply use the Rev QT facilities. I switch the code according to current platform during execution - if Win do this otherwise to that!
This works fine as long as the overall approach is broadly the same, i.e. a video clip viewing area within a Rev window. However, if I were to use altBrowser that Chipp mentions, then the interface model changes significantly, with the Mac and Win user interfaces being significantly different. In this case, I'd rather switch to the browser model for both platforms since they would then remain essentially the same. I'd need a Mac version of altBrowser in order to do this of course!
Regards
Peter
