[Qt-interest] QGraphicsView or Qwidget

[Parta]

Hi

I am going to write a media Player for a embedded system. The system
doesn't have support for OGL or floating point in hardware.
Now I am confused what should I use QWidget or QGraphicsView
framework. I am inclined to implement it as a QGraphicsView Item.
It seems to give more control over look and feel of the thing but will
take a little more time than using standard QWidgets like sliderbar.
Though I can embed anything into QGV with proxywidget. But still I
dont like the idea of making it a mixup of graphicsitems and QWigets.

One more thing that is giving me hard time is:

When I animate a item(item has many children), for every frame the
scene seems to call all the children paint functions. That kill frame
rates on the modest
hardware that I have. I was thinking of caching the whole frame(only
the bounding area of the parent) when the first frame is drawn and
then animate that pixmap for the
animation because during animation the children don't change how they
look. they remain the same throughout the animation. this works but
this approach is a little ugly in my view.
Is there a cleaner, standard way in which I can achieve something like
that using Qt.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
