I wrote a applescript player to interface to the DVD and quicktime
player. It's on SqueakMap
Name: AppleScript Media Player Interface
Summary: AppleScript interface to interface with IDVD and QuickTime,
plus manage Squeak

Description:
Interface to the Applescript class. Along with the plugins
TestOSAPlugin.bundle under os-x or TestOSAPlugin in os-8/9 you can
interact in an easier manner, to open a file, quit, enter or exit
full screen mode or hide/show the application using Apple's
AppleScript programming language. This changeset also provides an
abstract class to talk to media player applications and two concrete
classes that support Apple's QuickTime (limited) and DVD Player
(fully supported).
By setting the Squeak Mac Carbon VM to use a floating foreground
window you can construct a floating control widget in morphic to
control the DVD player.
.
However part of the Sophie team spent the day at my cabin by the sea
building a QuickTime interface for Sophie. Interested parties should
talk to me if they need to see
the source early. We are not building a full interface to all the
richness of QuickTime, rather the ability to play a movie in a tweak
window, either via overlaying the movie onto the squeak window (that
works), or by grabbing the bits and sticking them a Squeak Form,
hopefully tomorrow.
