Importing Huge Videos into Unity
Well, the case is this, Im using Unity for a School Work, so I need to import a Huge video in the proyect (About 1 GB). So the question would be what is the best format to import it, since I already tried with Mov, MP4, MP2 and they dont work, the importer always freezes or throws some bug, can anyone tell me how I have to do this?
I haven't used the import feature, but are you sure that it freezes? If you mean just visually, have you tried waiting a bit? Perhaps the visual side of Unity freezes, while it's still being imported in the background so , perhaps, try waiting a bit?
If that doesn't work, perhaps there's a way to play the video without importing it?
And since I'm not sure how the import process works - are you sure that you can't just copy/paste the file manually into your project folder into some specific location?
Usually you should use a Quicktime compatible format. But you could try to do the ogg vorbis conversion yourself (that is what unity converts it to).
Usually you shouldn't import any "movies" into Unity. Usually they are loaded at runtime.
ShadoX was right, I converted the movie to a "OGG Theora Video" (I did it with Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate)... The video ended up with a size of 500 MB (1 Hour Video)... I could import it correctly...
And for your question ShadoX, It really freezed, I waited like 15 minutes, and when It stopped freezing the debugger said there was an error importing it, guess it had to do with the format video...
Anyways, it is solved guys, thanks for your help!
