    TGB/TGE does not support AVI's "out of the box", you could probably find a resource for doing this ... but generically, Torque supports the Theora Video Codec ... and you can play them inside of a Theora GUI Control, outside of a Theora Control ... I'm not sure if you can ...

    Doesn't TGE have guiAviBitmapCtrl?

    Or you can take a look at this resource.

    Yup. And it hasn't been updated in a long while, mostly since the Theora integration.

    EDIT:
    My yup is in relation to the resource. It has never been stock in TGE because it breaks cross-platform usage as it is tied to DirectShow.

    The Theora Codec intergation you're talkin about, its available to use in TGB or only in TGE n' TGEA?... because, i dont really care if i have to use a different codec, all i want is to be able to play a video (in whatever format) on TGB while puttin some more action in a foreground layer thru scriptin...

    so... is it possible?

    Which codecs work best for integration of videos then? For like cut scenes, or background stuff.
