   Is it to expensive to keep calling stop and start animation or should I just call pause and resume? I am playing through several videos and I need to have the animation off during the playback.

   Are you unhappy with the performance? If not don't spend time on something that is not impacting your ability to complete your vision.

   I don't know if I am happy with the performance, because I haven't tried using pause or resume. I was hoping to get some insight on this subject without having to change things before I new enough about it.

   The best thing is to experiment and try it.

   So I went and checked the source code, which I highly suggest you do as well.

   In ver 2.0,

   - (void)setAnimationInterval:(NSTimeInterval)interval
   {
   	animationInterval_ = interval;
   	if(displayLink_){
   		[self stopAnimation];
   		[self startAnimation];
   	}
   }

   Is called from pause and resume. And looking at the description of CADisplayLink in the documentation I somehow doubt that is a very expensive object to create and destroy. I could be wrong but without experimenting I would say the way you want to do things in this regard doesn't matter.
