Is there a way to show a video in Dink? Not like a cutscene, but something like a Logitech video?

Sorry for being ignorant, but what is a Logitech video?

Logitech is the type of video camera I use to film with. But it doesn't have to be Logitech, just any kind of video except a cutscene.

Mmmm, pizza. 
Like .mpg, .avi, .wmv, .ogg, and others? Not that I know of, except:

Convert to frames, store frames in a sequence, play sequence.

But you may not want to do this, due to the frame limit of sequences. I forgot if it was 50 frames or 99, but in any case, it's not much. It's doable for small animated gifs, but for anything else: don't count on it.

That, or playavi() must have been made to work, but I don't think that has happened.

You can play avi's in v1.08 Aural+ using playmidi, see here.

Thanks, guys. I'll see if I can get that to work.
