I want to display four movies in a window.I create four views which
have MovieController and Movie, after I choose a folder which has four
movie files.
If the folder has four movie files, three movie files are copy of one.
When I choose this folder,only one movie file can be playback,the
other three can't.
Anybody who know how to solution above question, please help me.
(Sorry, My english is very poor.)

You can't open 2 times or more the same movie at the same time under
quicktime. ( it's some sort of "known issue" ) ( it returns an error "file
already opened" )

I think you need to work with datareferences and handle the file i/o
yourself to work around this limitation.

NewMovieFromDataRef or something like that.
Hope that helps.

NewMovieFromDataRef's effect is the same as NewMovieFromFile.

I want the effect same as iView playback movie files.
