Most simplistic demo on how to play a movie.

SimpleMovieDemo(moviename [, windowrect=[]]);

This bare-bones demo plays a single movie whose name has to be provided -
including the full filesystem path to the movie - exactly once, then
exits. This is the most minimalistic way of doing it. For a more complex
demo see PlayMoviesDemoOSX. The remaining demos show even more advanced
concepts like proper timing etc.

The demo will play our standard DualDiscs.mov movie if the 'moviename' is
omitted.

Movieplayback works on Mac OS/X, and on MS-Windows if you install
Quicktime-7 or later, which is available as a free download from Apple.
