Hi, this looks really neat thanks for sharing, I'm trying to get video frames going in cocos2d and came across this. I'm a little confused on how to implement though, it seems like I need to add a CCSprite to the VideoBatchNode to use the video texture but I'm unsure what to init the sprite with as far as frame name goes. Or maybe I need to create a CCAnimation and use that. By chance does anyone have any advice or snippets on a simple implementation? I've got it compiling and it is reading the video but I can't seem to get the frames displayed on a sprite. Thanks

Nevermind I got it working, turns out I didn't have the spriteWithBatchNode rect set up to the right size for the video, wow this is really cool!!!
