SMIL wrappers

QuickTime supports SMIL 1.0
QuickTime specific SMIL extensions are available here.
One use of smil is to play sections of a streaming movie as shown above.
SMIL can be generated by cgi and other server-side technologies. A sample perl script that generates smil is available here.

Note: To use this with streaming movies, can either use extended attributes as explained here, or use a SMIL wrapper for your movie as explained
