Hi, I'm trying to play the same QuickTime movie in two different
NSMovieViews simultaneously, so that they are synchronized. However, as soon
as I use the setMovie: method on the second view, the first view loses it
(although the movie itself continues to play in the new window). So what's
the deal? Can you only have one NSMovie/NSMovieView associated with a movie
at once? Do I need to create two identical QuickTime movies and synchronize
them? If so, how can I frame-accurately synchronize them and make sure they
stay they way (don't drift apart over time)? And isn't that going to be
inefficient (reading 2x the data off disk)? Frustrating! Thanks if you can
help!
