[Alephmodular-devel] CMovies

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

I finally got around to doing something to the code base. It's not 
much, but it should help in the long run as well.

Marathon2 had the ability to play a Quicktime movie file named 'Movie' 
before beginning the first level of the game.

I ended up sinking this capability into a CMovies set of classes. It 
wasn't quite display and it wasn't quite sound. The implementation 
looks fairly similar to the CMusic setup, especially at the 
CMovie_Carbon level, but has different functionality higher up, and 
even lower you specify a buffer and display box when you tell the movie 
to start.

In addition to abstracting movie playing, I tweaked it so that via 
clipping regions, it would respect the clipping area of the buffer 
specified. Admittedly this may not mesh perfectly with perhaps a 
pixel-doubled buffer, but ah well.
