   If you are writing in C or Objective C you can use the system()
call (in Project Builder get the Unix Man page...).  Or you can use
NSTask to fit better in a Cocoa world.  If you want some advice on
NSTask go to Cocoa Dev Central they have at least one tutorial on it. 
On system() there are many examples available via google.

  It does get a lot harder if you want the Movie player to put the
movie in YOUR window rather than it's default one.
