[NetBehaviour] Networked Video Performance

[ActiveLayers]

there is also http://water-wheel.net  , Helen, where you can use 90sec
uploaded videos but also use the 6 webcams streaming with plug-in such as
manycam to play any length of videos which are not especially uploaded, and
other crew members can mix too, with layers possibilities, variable alpha,
moving , resizing, rotating the images, etc.....
Cheers
