  Hi, I'm currently writing a library (for XNA/DirectX) for animation/soundless video playback, and I have a few design questions for the pros out there if you don't mind answering them : I'm having my animation class inherit from game component, and update the frame depending on game time in the overriden Update method, and render it in the overidden Draw method, but even when I preload my textures to render, playback is choppy.
