If you have a movie playing in a jit-qt.movie and load new large 

movie in another jit.qt.movie, the playing video stops for a moment 

while the new movie is being loaded into the buffer. I would like to 

avoid this and I don't came about loading time, just as long as the 

system runs unaffected. I need to switch between several movies so 

it's not possible to load them all on loadbang.

I've tried to send the "read moviePath" through the deferlow object, 

but that doesn't seem to be the magic trick. I've searched the 

How can I avoid a total stop while a big movie-file is being loaded?

Look at the "asyncread" message to jit.qt.movie.

Thanks a lot Jeremy, you saved my day ;-)

I got way lower video performance out of large resolutions and file sizes when using asyncread.....is this because it continues to read the video into the memory buffer asynchronously while its playing? Is there a way to async read until the full file is buffered and then read at full performance?
