Yes, but if any sizing has to happen then conversion will have to
happen, even if it is to the same type as it already is.  Basically
in the code we'll have to make a decision.

What I do intend to do is let the user use the image file unaltered.
That means no resizing, no format conversion, nothing.  That way
control freaks can do whatever they want outside of BitPim.  The
rest of us can have BitPim do the work for you without bothering
you with trivial details.

If they try hard enough to bypass the user friendliness then yes :-)

Yes.  Actually before that we need an image in the resources directory
that represents a movie.  That can be used initially and then we can
work up to one static frame, and finally some sort of sequencing.  

One of my motivations behind writing the custom widget for displaying
media was ensuring it could handle having some sort of timer and 
updating images.
