Looping digital video in Director can freeze the system, but with some tweaks it is possible to run it for hours or even for days. I managed to run a sequence of a dozen or more QuickTime movies looped for 4 days non-stop. Use “unLoad” command at the end of each video. This will prevent from memory usage accumulates. Optimise the video: reduce the bit-rate to minimum. This will reduce the hard-drive access and CPU usage. A good tool for this is Discreet Cleaner.
