You can't play a video stream using Unity Free, but you can give the illusion of playing a video. Use ffmpeg to rip the video to an audio stream and a jpeg image per frame. Load these frames one at a time from the file system (you can use the WWW interface with a "file://" URL) and display them on a texture, switching from frame to frame at the appropriate playback speed. I've used this technique to display quarter-screen videos at 30 frames/second, and fullscreen at 15 frames/second.
Not ideal, but it's cheap.
If people are interested let me know and I'll post more details to the wiki.
this can be good. i want to use that way , because on bink video i need to use vb6
Dear yoyo, I am very interested!!! Where is your wiki?? Thanks []

Depending on what you are doing, you may be able to animate the entire video in Unity's animation system as a scene, and display that then tell it to go to the next scene for the game when it's done.
I'm glad I could help. I am usually the one asking the questions around here, but I feel great to help others with things I know. If you need more information on Unity's animation system, you may check it out on the documentation.
