Description

ConvertMovie makes a copy of a movie, converting its text tracks to new text tracks with bit map representations of the text. The displayFlags parameter allows one to add new display flags (such as normally time consuming antialias and drop shadow) for the bit map images. The imageTrack parameter indicates whether to save an image of the entire text track or just the text box (as specified by the defaultTextBox field of the text descriptor). The spatial parameter is a pointer to a compression information data structure that specifies how to compress the text bit maps. Note that the resulting movie file (as specified by the dstSpec parameter) will need to be flattened if it contained any non-text tracks in order to make it self-contained.
