How can I start a video in a new window from Matlab (on a mac)

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. (I have a MAC with OS X)
