Two videos in one theme

[RPO R6V]

Anyone ever think of trying to put two or more videos in the same theme? I'm thinking this could be cool in particular for MAME games that offer more than one game choice. I was thinking of the Atari prototype Arcade Classics (arcadecl) but I'm sure it would have other applications (not just limited to MAME).

It is possible. The problem is Hyperspin does not support multiple videos so you have to create a new .flv video. For these kind of things it is better to use .flv as it support alpha channel so your video can have trasparencies

Do not exagerate with video size as fullscreen videos (1024*768) can create stuttering and hiccups even on hi-end rigs

Ah, you can also use videos in a .swf. If you embedd the flv into swf it will play at random speed but if you create a .swf that reads a .flv from a directory ("load external videos components" while importing in flash). Note that video MUST stay in the directory used when importing in flash (es if you create a .swf importing a video from c:/hyperspin/extras in flash you MUST have that flv in c:/hyperspin/extras as it will not be included in .swf file)
