What is in-game video playback?

[ArmAriffic 10]

We have had PMC for a while now so what is, and how do we use in game video playback?

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, it seams like it should go in this one.

Thanks, ArmAriffic

You can play videos as intro/cut scene, instead using the engine, something like that

OK, thanks for answering

In PMC it is used for either show videos between the missions or for example have a i-phone pop up on the screen showing a video of your boss giving orders.

Whole idea as i see it make it easier for mission makers and guarantee that a cutscene will always work correctly or can have crazy things like a giantic military parade without frying your GPU.

Anyone kind enough to create a simple "hello world" type video playback tutorial for noobs like me?

Before the 1.57 beta patch I thought this function was nothing but a PC killer, but now I withdraw my opinion.
