Auto pause when play Quicktime movies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

You know, Mac software iWork can output presentation to Quicktime format. 
When I play this file on Windows with the official Quicktime player, i click 
mouse button, it shows transition animation, and then pause, shows my 
presentation content. But when i do the same thing on Linux, i tried Totem, 
VLC, they just play it as a common movie. When i try gnome-mplayer, it seems 
better. It can detect paging, and some text on the bottom: slide1, slide2, 
... But unlucky, it playing the movie until last page. So, i just want 
gnome-mplayer to add an option to hide the bottom text, and auto pause at 
the end of the transition animation.

Thank you!

Little difficult to know when the end of the file actually happens, since the 
way we
know the file is done is that mplayer terminates because it is done playing. So 
we
could try to have it pause at the last second, but it may not show the last 
couple of
frames and if the length timestamp of the file is incorrect it may not work 
right. 

So those are the challenges of this option, would you be willing to live with 
those
issues?

Hi,
This is a short mov file. Maybe the file is a bit large, so i put it 
on my server. Please get it from: http://www.shiyihcc.com/12345.mov

Thanks for the sample video. The bottom text can be enabled by hiding the 
subtitles.
If the problem is due to having certain subtitles visible then it might be a 
problem
with the timing of those subtitles. You might want to have them display for a 
shorter
period.

Ok, i know. So the bottom text is not the problem. The problem is to 
pause after a transition animation. The player can detect page well 
(it shows subtitles). So maybe when the subtitle appear, pause the 
video. Then it can support Keynote exported Quicktime video better.

Thank you!

I don't know when the text appears.. that is the problem. mplayer handles all 
that
internally, perhaps you should talk to the mplayer team about implementing 
either a
slave message or just better support for keynote exported video.

Ok... Maybe I should talk to mplayer developers.
