[vlc-devel] parallel videos?

Is there any possibility to play two or more videos in parallel?
What I want is to have several textures in Performer (scenegraph
based 3D graphics library) with different movies playing in them.
I call libvlc-functions from a Performer texture node. So
every time a texture is created a new movie is created and
initialized with VLC_Create and VLC_Init and played with VLC_Play.
For every VLC_Create I get a object number which is given to
VLC_Init and VLC_Play. This works fine as long as the two movies
are not finished with playing. But after that both textures get
the same picture and often the whole thing crashes.

I use VLC 0.6.2.

BTW: I wrote a simple video output plugin which writes the movie
images into an array (as RGB32-data). This array can be read by
other parts of the software, e.g. my Performer texture node.
If you find this would be another good output plugin for the
project I could send it to someone who would be responsible for
that or I would add it to CVS if anyone tells me how I could/should
do this.
