On Processing 151 the video library reports a NullPointerException when
trying to read the movie during setup. Works fine in Processing 148

This is the bug

Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.NullPointerException
at processing.video.Movie.read(Movie.java:415)
at Loop.setup(Loop.java:37)
at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(PApplet.java:1372)
at processing.core.PApplet.run(PApplet.java:1300)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:613)

To reproduce load the video loop example and add myMovie.read() to the line
below myMovie.loop()

In addition there appears to be many problems in the Video library examples
caused by the movie not being initialised in time.

For example the ASCIIVideo, colorSorting and Disgrand examples now throw an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

nuts, this is due to a fix for bug #882. will look into whether it's just
exposing a problem in how the examples are written, or whether the fix is
just breaking things. thanks for the report.

also, in the meantime use movie.available() before calling read(), and let
me know if that does/does not work.

(In reply to comment #3)

Adding this to the top of draw does work. But it takes 11 - 20 frames
before it can be read.

if(myMovie.available()){
myMovie.read();
println(frameCount);

}

The AsciiVideo example is having problems because of this line in setup

video = new Capture(this, 80, 60, 15);
int count = video.width * video.height;

count is always 0.

*** Bug 962 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Will just have to remove the changes from bug #882 and re-release for 0152.
