I've heard MainActor Broadcast can run from HD real fast, haven't really
checked that out...
Or bite the bullet and get ScalaMM- its HD anim playback is adequate; of

the anim, so you might end up with jerky playback... if you need really
smooth playback, you might try lowering resolution and antialiasing, or to
use DCTV...
