Hi
I'm (kind of) new to processing, and have been enjoying how easy to use it is.
I have a project that requires displaying video files, and wanted to assess how suitable Processing is for this.
I have large video files (around 500mb), in .mov format. I've tried to get processing to play them (using the Movie library http://processing.org/reference/libraries/video/Movie.html ), and they do display but -
So my question is:
Is there a better way of displaying movies in processing, that will avoid this issue? Any tips on how to optimise the playback?
Or is processing not the right tool for this task?
Thanks for taking a look!

- Frame rate is very (very!) low, a frame every few seconds
- Sound doesnt seem to work
