Video Playback in Game

Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new to the Torque scene and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I've been searching around the a day or so trying to find an answer, with not much luck.
I'm trying to find out if it possible to playback a video file (I don't mind which format) in the game engine (eg, inside a building, like a virtual movie theater).
If this is possible, could you also stream from a web url?
If this isn't possible yet, does anyone have any ideas on any technologies I could use to develop such a feature.
Thanks heaps
Dion

I had TGE 1.5 and just followed Steps 2 and 3 (ignored step 1).
Hope this helps someone.
