Hi John - there is a first implementation of this technique available
(at least for the Mac) where you have motion in Quicktime movies. All it
does (as best as I can determine) is to select several frames at some
number of frames difference and display them in two side by side 
windows on the screen. Fairly limited, but it can be done.

I forget the name of it, but if anyone remembers to ask me when I
get back to school, I can probably dig it up.

THANKS - Bob "hand me the zoom lens" Wier
