What is "Inbeding" ?

If you meant embed, I'm pretty sure its impossible to put videos behind other objects in tgf/mmf 2

videos in windows use an overlay function to draw the video... so im pretty sure mr. lazy is right, I dont think you can put a video behind other objects.

 
What's wrong with pillow shading? O.o

My bad I mean embedding Thanks for replying and clearing things up!

Is there a way around this?

I'm thinking of converting my video to animated GIF but I'm afraid the size of the animated GIF might slow down the game?

Ive had to do similar things in some projects I have worked on... the GIF seems to work ok as long as its a reasonable size and not like half the screen or something.

As far as I know, it's a limitation of the way Windows works as to why a video overlay cannot be z-ordered to the back.

There is such a simple way - It's the first object in the list; The AVI Object
Works like a charm

Does that actually let you put other objects over the video though?

 
This is a signature. Have this one on me.

YES!

Edit: Damn - Wrong one, sorry
Use the ANIMATION OBJECT. That lets you display an avi behind active objects

Sorry for the confusion. :S

My video is just less than 3MB, I've never tried it with large file sizes
If you try out the MMF2 Hardware Acceleration/HWA beta, you may be able to load it but I'm not sure, it could go either way. Is it the frame which is just locking up or do your active objects move/etc but theres just no video?

Sounds like a codec problem... try downloading "k-lite codec pack" and install it... it may fix your problem.

*EDIT*
Failing that, you could try re-ecoding the video to a different codec or format all together using the free program Virtual Dub. It could simply be a compression issue that MMF2 isn't understanding correctly.
