Video Textures

Hello all,
I'm a computer animation student and for a final project I am modeling Times Square. I want to use video files that I have shot (.mov's of each individual building) as textures for the skyscrapers. For some reason, I've had no luck getting the textures to play or loop. I'm using maya 6.5 on a MacBookPro. I've tried using a lambertwith a file texture, selecting the movie file and also selecting "use image sequence." When i do this, the lambert turns black, as does everything I render.

Does anyone know a relatively easy way to create looping video textures? (i'm going to need to make about 60 so the less scripting required the better)

Thanks a lot for your help
