Hey guys,
We have a team working on a mod and we were wondering if there is any way to embed ,in game, either a quick time movie or some other format. What we are trying to avoid is having to show the movie clip outside of the engine and then having to start it up. Is there a way to do this or are we going to have to do all the cut scenes with in game movies?

Thanks

You *can* import bink video and use them as textures. I'd strongly recommend against this however, as they have to sit in texture memory - and as I'm sure you're aware, a video in texture memory is occupying space that is likely needed for your other game essentials. There is also no real way to play the videos back in any controllable fashion. Your best bet is to matinee them up in the game engine.
