[visionegg] Re: movies

Hi Mikko,

I just got QuickTime movies working in Windows. I made a "Bleeding Edge"
release for Windows users:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40846&package_id=73479
This is also in the subversion repository.

There is now an additional requirement, ctypes. (OK, there's also a
requirement to install QuickTime on your system, but you knew that...)

The old quicktime.py demo in the demos directory works unmodified on my
system.

I haven't tried my Mac with the new code and given the extent of the
changes, I'm convinced this will break Mac support for QuickTime movies
for the time being. However, this new code should be much more
maintainable in the long-term.

Cheers!
Andrew
