If it's a static background (like a circular frame or such), then you could

also use a mask on that QuickTime sprite in Director. It would be about the

same performance speed as using a background-transparent ink to drop out

white pixels in that non-directToStage video sprite, however.


You can get fastest video performance when it writes its entire rectangle

directly to the screen. Once you start compositing it in the offscreen

buffer, though, then there's that two-step write to get the composited

contents to the screen.
