But then what do you do with a full-video image after that?  Do we expect
that a completely static "here it is guys, look but don't touch" is all
we can do with it?

The point is that DPaint II has a full-video mode, and users then want to
make use of these full-video images in a real full-video mode, not just
as a scrollable bitmap.  You don't need a full video mode to scroll a
bitmap.
