can you use an avi file as a texture in the real time engine ?
eg have a plane that has a video displayed on it?

i know that you can use a picture with every frame in a grid but i cant figure out how to play an avi file.

thanks anyone who can help, levon

Well, you can’t figure it out because it is not possible - at least not directly. There is a workaround for playing videos, but in general it is not possible (yet).

you can use FMV-ed

Thats a link to my old site, blenderage, and I won’t be updating that one anymore. The new link is shown below. Its exactly the same at the moment but watch that one for updates, not the old one. :slight_smile:

I am sure theres a way in python only problem would be you’d need to write your own avi decorder (not too fun)
