The above is almost exactly the reasons I'm looking for other methods to
control and display movies and sounds. I my case it may involve both schools
and long term health care facilities, who may or (more likely) may not ever
have have good access to QT. We Mac types, and even Windows users who have
been smitten with QT, are spoiled by the ability to control our media
projects this way. However, many potential clients will simply not have QT
available anytime soon. Just a fact of life in many parts of the world.

Thanks for pointing it out, Graham.

All the best,
Ken N.
