At the SGI booth at SIGGRAPH last year, one of the demos on the GTX presented
a window repeatedly replaying a short segment of previously captured NTSC
video.

Was this accomplished by filling up the framebuffer with the images and
copying them one after another into the visible window, or did the images
come from main memory?
