Convenience player views

The Time Media UI framework provides a convenience class template TPlayerView<APlayer> that represents the simplest way to embed a media presentation in a view (see "Simple lightweight embedding" on page 279). This template class is useful for developing quick prototypes or demo applications.

For example, to embed a QuickTime movie in a dialog, you could create a movie player view and adopt it into the parent view. (You can read about creating and manipulating view hierarchies in Desktop Frameworks Concepts.)

Keep in mind that, while this approach is very easy to use, it's less efficient than using the framework classes directly. For production code, you should create a media presenter and corresponding view.
