Hi all,
my project is to show thousands of small quad with randomly different b/w video from a pool of 12 AVI. AVI duration are around 1 to 4 seconds. this is what i have so far using VLC plugin:

i have 2 questions regarding VLC and performance:
-
is there any tricks to start, end and update video texture individually in a quad spread using VLC pluin? right now the result is very mechanics because all quad update and play video at the same time.
-
which do you think can perform better: 12 small clips for the random to draw from, or one long video and play different sections according to random? the advantage of using small clips are flexibility of updating and adding more video clips later. can i gain performance by combining all clips into one long video clip? right now i can have 1600 quads without delay with my fast computer, but i worry if i have more quads in a less than powerful computer later on.
any thoughts and comments? thanks a lot!
bill
