Any way to play a video externally?

Unity Engine
1

Hi, some of the games plays introduction videos externally from the game, i don´t have unity pro, just free, and there is no support of video media streaming, right, i was thinking if there is some method to play videos switching to an external player and one time the video is done, returning to the game and load the next scene… is this possible ?

thanks.

sure, system.diagnostic.process can be used to execute another application and wait for it to end with the right code.

works only on win and osx and naturally you have to write applications for win and osx that do it, license a movie codec potentially etc
