Next: -26- The Movie Library has calls to play a movie in a file, memory or a file descriptor. But all of them seem to assume that the complete movie is available locally. How can I play a movie all of which is not available locally?

Subject:   -25- I'm using the Movie Library to create QuickTime movies
                using Apple's Video compression.  When are default key-
                frames placed in a QuickTime movie made with the SGI
                movie library?

  For releases prior to Irix 6.2, key frames are placed by 
  default every fifth frame.  

  Beginning with WebForce1.1 and IRIX 6.2, it is possible to
  control the keyframe distance.

  To do so in a program, set the parameter 
  DM_IMAGE_KEYFRAME_DISTANCE parameter when you create an 
  image track.

  The tools (dmconvert/makemovie/movieconvert) also have 
  options to allow you to control keyframe rate.
