//       Class : MovieVideo
// Description : A MovieVideo is actually any source that provides
//               a sequence of video frames.  That could include an
//               AVI file, a digital camera, or an internet TV station.
//
//               The difference between a MovieVideo and a
//               MovieVideoCursor is like the difference between a
//               filename and a file handle.  The MovieVideo just
//               indicates a particular movie.  The MovieVideoCursor
//               is what allows access.
