video is always fullscreen.

The iphone multimedia player does not offer any alternative (and the device is too slow to try to do mpeg4 through anything but the dedicated decoder chip)

Other than that, yes split screen is possible. just keep in mind that this means that you render 2 frames per actual frame

hey thanks dreamora for a quick reply

Ok so a split screen is possible to do.(Is there any ref doc for this so i can try this out)

also for ur reply i understand that when ever i will play a video through unity it will take up the entire screen to show the video correct.

thanks again

That potentially needs specification: its completely independent through what you play the movie, its always fullscreen.

I’m not a Unity Pro owner, so I’m not sure, but can’t you just set the movie to be a texture of a plane?

As for the split screen, the camera has positioning attributes that you can look into.

The original question was about an iPhone app and on the iPhone no, that’s not possible (video playback can only be done fullscreen using the device video player, playback as a texture is not supported).

Spot on, check out the Camera class documentation and its Rect value in particular (note that those same values can be set via the Unity inspector as well).

Whoopsie. Have to read it more carefully next time. :sweat_smile:
