The bitmap that plays over the top is movable (as in the user moves an overlay onto the image, so it's covering a certain item in the movie).
And I meant to say I cannot change the directToStage of the sprite (which defaults to true) because it's crap performance (although I'm guessing you understood what I meant anyway, and just felt like baiting me :) I might clarify my question again. I don't wish to mask the video, I just wish to place another bitmap on top. Is there anyway to place a bitmap on top of a video without getting unacceptable performance from turning directToStage off? Xtras? I have looked into the videoSprite extra but it only seems to accept video capture devices as the source of the video. It would be perfect if it just let me connect a video file to it.

That's a contradiction, isn't it? Anyway, look into setting the mask of the QuickTime member as Fergus says, but keep the movie direct to stage. That way you can surround an irregular shape of video with other bitmaps, and still keep good video performance.
