DirectRT or MediaLab for Video Clips?

[KEAlsip]

I am a graduate student at a university in Florida, and am working with a professor on some research. This entails participants viewing short video clips of other individuals. The video clips will be shown in different time intervals: 1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds. We were wondering which software would work best with this kind of research.

I understand that DirectRT works well with milliseconds, but we are not using such small amounts of time. However, I also understand that MediaLab may be difficult to use due to multimedia constraints. Please let me know which software you feel would be the best fit for us. Thanks!

It would depend on what your purpose is in showing the video clips. Are you planning on taking reaction times to them? If it's for display purposes only and you do not need extreme (millisecond) precision in onset or response timing, then MediaLab would be fine.
