OK, I tried the test patch 4 and it does what you promised .
I am noticing that until I move the slider (i.e. the counter is set to 0), the movie has a blue highlight over it. As soon as I move the counter, the blue disappears and the controls work normally.
Perhaps a (hackish) shortcut would be to set the slider at a default of 0.0001s? _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

Two things I noticed could maybe be polished: (1) the blue highlight is still there, and (2) if I start a video in Impress while editing and then switch to presentation mode, I get two videos playing at the same time. I only hear the sound of the one that was active while I was editing, but it must be doing something.
But the basic problem is entirely solved!

P.S. I noticed that LibreOffice has been taking on board some of the patches that Apache Openoffice has done. I suppose the other way around is not possible for license reasons, but I thought it was encouraging that people in the whole OOo ecosystem are not snooty about each others' work. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

I don't see any blue highlight around my videos. Can you post a screen snapshot of what you are seeing?
As for playing 2 videos at once, the OpenOffice.org code will stop any videos in the currently selected Impress slide when you select another slide. In other words, the OpenOffice.org code can only play one slide at a time.
Not around the videos, over them. See attached screenshot. My face does not look that blue normally, and the 'dancing' video is supposed to start white on black background.
As for the two videos at once, I specifically said I start one in editing mode, and then switch to presentation. The videos from the presentation will stop and start as I switch slides, but the one I started in editing mode keeps going in the background all that time.
I hope this is of more help. _________________ "What do you think of Western Civilization?"

I suspect that the color format of the frame images that the QuickTime functions return are not always ARGB format and are sometimes BGRA. I will investigate how I can detect such cases.

I understand now. That is what I see as well and is actually normal OpenOffice.org behavior. The slide show is actually a separate window that merely obscures the Impress document window. The OpenOffice.org code does not limit playing a video in 2 document windows simultaneously so when the slide show runs, the Impress window is still there behind the slide show window playing as well.
If you have 2 or more monitors and had the slide show display on a different monitor, you would actually see the video continue to play in the Impress document window.
I found a video that I could use to reproduce the color distortion problem that you were seeing and it confirmed that our code was identifying the pixel color format.
I think that I have fixed this problem in the following test patch by forcefully converting all QuickTime movie frame images to the BGRA pixel color format.
Can you install the following test patch and tell us if the color distortion in your movies is fixed?:
Edit: To reproduce the bug that I fixed, I used the sample_iTunes.mov movie from this Apple technote. I had been using the sample_sorenson.mov movie for testing which didn't trigger the bug.
