Hello Jason I remember a good few years ago there was an OpenGL Tutorial (number #36) by Jeff Molofee that played an AVI file in OpenGL. The AVI was played back on a revolving cube. Perhaps using OpenGL for your playback might open up other interesting possibilities regarding the display of text. I have this tutorial on backup if it is no longer on the web.
