How can I start a video in a new window from Matlab?

To start or run a pdf file in a new window It is possible to use the code: open('filename.pdf').

I have a video (.avi or other format) and I want top start it (from Matlab) to run in a new window.

I habe a Mac OS X with "QuickTime player".

How ca i use the commande system of Matlab to do that?

code: system( ? )

The solution using the commands VideoWriter() and movie() is too slow and generates lots of memory.

I look for a solution similar to open('filenale.pdf') which exists in Matlab and which starts "Adobe Reader" on filename.pdf in a new window.

It seems that the solution is to use the command "system" of Matlab to execute the application (as QuickTime Player) devoted to the reading of a video in a new video,

but I don't find what command I have to write.

I have tried

system('QuickTime Player myvideo.avi');

without success.

Use VideoReader() to import the movie, then movie() to play the movie in another window.
