Is the QuickTime threading support (eg, EnterMoviesOnThread) also supported
under Windows? If not, are there any other options for running QT movies on
separate threads under Windows?

latest SDK, no.

As I recall, most QT routines used a common critical section under Windows
to avoid multiple thread access (something like the "carbon lock" under
MacOS X, I believe). Is that still the case?

you can fudge this a little using QTMLRegisterInterruptSafeThread, and maybe a workable solution for you use to do your own synchronisation - perhaps do the idle in one thread and use a critical section to protect each movie?

you don't really say why you want this, so...

cheers,
