GetMovieLoadState doesn't do all the work itself. Instead, it queries media handlers, checks if the movie is fast starting, and queries any idling importers associated with the movie. The minimum load state of all of these is then considered to be the load state of the movie.

To check idling importers, the QuickTime Movie Toolbox calls the routine:

pascal ComponentResult MovieImportGetLoadState( MovieImportComponent ci,
                                                long * loadState );

on all idling importers attached to the movie.
