Not a problem for my app.

Again, not a problem for my app.

I don't need to do this.

This could be a real problem.

LOL - didn't mean to make you ill.....

So if using players is such a bad idea, what else? People have
suggested other work-arounds for trimming the imageData, but they are
all too slow or produce images that aren't what I want, so the player
object was the only workable option that I had managed to find so far
