[jitter] Re: Total newbie question

hey rob

I was trying to read pictures on the fly into jitter last year and  
whenever I read/asynchread/importmovie in jit.qt.player/jit.matrix/ 
jit.gl.texture the processing/display for jitter would stop for a  
second during the read. I ended up having to compile all the pictures  
into a movie file and just read that once.

So I don't think your method would work, but if it did somehow it  
would be freakin' great!
