My intent was at first to display movie as they are, without 3D positionning or
mapping to geos.

With pix_draw I can display pictures larger than the texture ram because it is
directly rendered without passing through it.

I was hoping that since I can do it with picture (and even not power of 2,
btw it works despite an error message), i could display movies with larger res.

It would be too slow not using texture ram for displaying simple movie on the
"flat screen"  ?

BTW, is it possible not to resize but to cut in a source movie a square of the
wanted size to then pass it to the texture object ?
