quicktime & SMIL

I was thinking of a way of implementing SMIL using as much existing existing
technology as possible.

How about a Java wrapper around QuickTime which parses the SMIL document and
creates a QuickTime reference movie.

This would be cross platform and have all the benefits of QuickTime
performance. The ref movie is generated so can be built dynamically at
runtime.

The SMIL java class would be relatively simple & small as nearly all the
hard work is done by QuickTime.
