Hello,
 
Over the Christmas break I decided to develop an application that does
QuickTime movies (much like Simple Player). Anyway I got it all up and
running and it works fine with one noteable exception. It plays them a bit
on the slow side.
 
The DoIdle method of my MovieView is set to an idle frequency of 0 and it
calls MCIdle each pass. I also overrode MainEventLoop in my decendant of
TApplication. And call MoviesTask before polling for events. It is still a
bit on the slow side (the movies are kinda jerky when they play on my app
but smooth in Simple Player.)
 
So my question is this. Should I just lump it? The jerkiness is noticable,
but only if you are looking for it (i.e. my wife could not see it until I
showed it to her). Or are there a few other places I could sprinkle
MoviesTask to eek the last little bit of performance out of this app?
