    Multiple videos on screen at once?

    [edited from support email]

    Is it possible for DirectRT to display more than one movie or video (e.g., avi, mpg, etc.) on the screen at one time?

    You can size, locate, and play as many videos at once as your system resources will handle. DirectRT pre-cues them before each trial begins so synching them with precise onset times (relative to each other or with other stimuli/RTs is easy. They are all played through the DirectX DirectShow/WMP video engine so most video formats are compatible.
