front ends
it seems that flash has to load an entire movie into itself befor eit can deal with frames within the movie. and it doesnt handle movies very well. as in, 500 meg, 1 gig movies are out of the question.
so no flash front end it looks like. at least for any sort of manipulation of the movies. maybe as some sort of interface to flip through.
so now im back to digging through max/jitter to pull scene stills, then all that will go up on the server as stills. so it looks like dhtml for the stills might still be the best display ive got.
i know something sexier can be done, but right now i really just need a front end.

Tripp, you could do it in Flash if you converted the movie clip to frames, you could then stream the sequence. If you want help creating streaming Flash work let me know.
