A MovieVideo is actually any source that provides a sequence of video frames. That could include an AVI file, a digital camera, or an internet TV station.

The difference between a MovieVideo and a MovieVideoCursor is like the difference between a filename and a file handle. The MovieVideo just indicates a particular movie. The MovieVideoCursor is what allows access.

Returns the movie’s filename. A movie is not guaranteed to have a filename, if not, then this function returns an empty filename.

static get(name: Filename) → MovieVideo

Obtains a MovieVideo that references a file. Just calls MovieTypeRegistry::make_video().

static getClassType() → TypeHandle
getFilename() → Filename

Returns the movie’s filename. A movie is not guaranteed to have a filename, if not, then this function returns an empty filename.

property subfile_info → SubfileInfo
