That works, with about a 1 second latency -- but as I said, the movie is
short, and doesn't have any wasted time at the front or back end.  I am
planning on using the movie in a presentation and it would be really nice
to have the movie display at the start frame, and start it playing when
I'm damn good and ready, and then stay up after it finishes.  Really, the
annoying thing is the end of the movie -- it's very jarring for the image
to just drop away completely, only to be replaced by this giant logo that
simply advertises to the viewers that "his computer is not like mine, and
no, it's not better either."
