My MOBMIXER app has hit a design stumbling block.
To make the experience compelling to buy wallpaper/ringtones from a movie trailer you need to be able to get the frame/soundtrack snippet you want within a few clicks. There lies a problem with the way movie trailers are published typically. The player is either the Windows, Real or Quicktime media and there is no easy method (I can see) to pass the current frame, or time, to another application.
Q) What is the best approach? I'm leaning towards A1
A1) Replace movie files themselves with files with embedded scripting (e.g. Quicktime created in LiveStage Pro)?
A2) Embed files in Shockwave?
A3) Embed files in Flash?
A4) Javascript call to movie player API? (can't find way to do this)
A5) Java wrapper for movie player (http://java.khm.de/content/projects/VideoPlayer.java)
A6) Rely on user to type in current frame number
