1 frame per second? Why?

Since the MovieTexture implementation shouldn't care about fps, I think
it stands to reason that there is no need to include that information in
the Image interface. The Image implementation should make the
translation between fps and speed where appropriate.

It looks like our MovieTexture implementation is currently very
frame-oriented; I don't think that's correct.
