Hi guys.  
i am building a video wall sort of thing. i am wondering wether to use a jpg to preview content of each video or load the video’s directly with only loading the first 5 frames running a loop then killing the download on the rest of the movie till requested to start again by the user.  
Is this possible?  
Thanks  
Paul
