[b18] Can't import asset as binary file.

I’m using some video files as binary files (movie.avi.bytes) and I was hoping to use 64-bit Unity 5 to try some larger videos. However, I can’t seem to import them like I can in Unity 4.x.

Why can’t you import them? Please elaborate, do you get an error, etc…

Well, tried again in a new project and after system reboot. They are importing successfully.

When it was failing, there was no error or any messages in console. Restarting Unity hadn’t fixed it. The file simply showed as an unknown type.

image shows what I mean by unknown type… (Left: .bytes in Unity 4.6, Right: .bytes in 5.0.b18)
