Very, very interesting! I really like this idea :-)
So you have multiple seperate movies effectively "floating" above the
desktop with a main Window which controls them?
This is a direction I hadn't thought of! Time to break out XCode :-)
Do you know if it would be possible using this method to recombine all
the playing movies into a new movie once you are happy with their
positioning? Heh...maybe I should take this one step at a time though
;-)
Thanks for the reply Chris!!

Tim, I have and am doing a similar thing. However my approach has
worked very well for me, and does exactly what you described. Use
multiple NSWindows. Use NSBorderlessWindowMask (sp) and make set their
backgrounds to clearColor. Then set the content views to your
NSImageView, or QTMovieView. You can layer / order these all day long.
Move them, animate them. If you add them as children to a parent
window then they will stay with the parent. Works like charm.
I am pretty new to this too, so there may be a better way, but this
has worked well for me.
