I'm curious if it's possible to take a video from the internet and use it either as a texture or in a jit.matrix. Yeah, I know the quality is going to be pretty crappy... That said, I would still like to try it if possible.

have you tried sending a message to jit.qt.movie ? the maxhelp patch for jit.qt.movie says you can send a message 'read ' will attempt to open the movie at the url.

Ok, Jacobrendell I don't think this will work for youtube because it doesn't have a file extension that the read message can recognize (it's simply a link). Strimbob, thanks for the link. It's what I had in mind, except for the fact you have to stream and can't simply save/load the file. Works for my project though.
