How to create a 4 second Quicktime Mov with a single JPEG

Chipp,

Its half-OT. I am using a combination of altBrowser and flash player
to play movies and mp3 files with thumbnails inside rev. This is
working fine and is behaving better as a cross platform solution for
us.

What I do is: I generate on runtime an HTML with JW Flash Media
Player. Our movies are meant to be loaded over the internet so, I can
load the needed player over the internet too. I set it to a rect of
the stack, the user doesn't even notice that part of the card is
actually a web view, it all feels like a simple embed player. There's
just a simple trip to fetch the player (couple kb) and the movies.

Depending on the movie format, I switch to QT inside the altBrowser
window. So in the end we're able to play a lot of movie files that
were not playing inside revs own qt player.

Cheers
andre
