Hi Mark,

the app. I´ve been working on (Fullscreen) is a Player-App. with multiple
playlists, Fullscreen support, prozentual scaling (stepless from 25%-100% of
the screenrect). It´s currently in Beta-Phase for Mac Os 9 and X.
So I don´t know which kind of media users will try to import. If they try to
open DivX;-) the movie will be recognized as a videofile, but the nasty
Quicktime message gets displayed and the playerscreen turns black. So I am
searching for a way to trap this message to avoid any inconvinience. If it
is not possible, I will add a topic on the FAQ and I´m done. Sorrowly that
would not be as elegant as I would like it to be. :-(

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Malte
