So you just read and decompress one image at a time, draw it to the screen
and go on to the next? If so, wouldn't libmovie do just as good a job? I
suppose that what you could do that libmovie can't is to spread image data
across disks, if necessary. Also you might have a separate thread to load
image data before it is actually needed....
