> Thanks, it works now. For some reason, turning "auto" on and off (with pix_film) causes the video to lag temporarily, but I do not have this problem if I use line-objects to go through the frames. The cpu-usage goes above 100 if I have more than two videos playing at once, but I suppose I don't need more than two for this project...

i would use a shader for this.
it offer great flexibility, even if it's a bit harder to begin with.
but that's the way openGL wants you to do now.
