Hi All,

I have 3 large videos (23 mb each) of same duration playing simultaneaously - only one displays at a time. The other 2 videos are playing in the background and are called in seamlessly one by one on user interaction. I am guessing that since there are 3 videos playing together it puts a lot of pressure on the processor and hence the chugging. Is there a solution where the inactive/non-displayed video pauses and if called starts streaming from the point where the active one (video) was left. e.g. [http://video.google.co.uk/](http://video.google.co.uk/) - where the video starts streaming from the point where the playhead is dragged to on the video timeline.

Hope I am able to make myself clear.

Looking forward to some solutions.

Many Thanks,  
J
