Possibly.  I'm not sure what it is and the docs don't have anything  
about the result returned.  If it is an ID I'm not sure what it would  
refer to.  Are they any handlers in Rev that would use it?

I'm not sure which QT API function "start player" is calling to get  
QT to  play the movie but the two possibilities that come to mind are  
SetMovieRate and MCDoAction.  SetMovieRate doesn't return a value and  
MCDoAction just returns an error number if there was an error.
