    Hello,

    I've just installed the lastest unity 5 beta 14.

    I can't seem to be able to convert a mp4 file into a movie texture. I have quicktime and it's working in Unity 4.

    Thanks

    Anyone having this issue. Videos in StreamingAssets folder doesn't seem to work. So just put them somewhere else.

    I just experienced the same issue. MP4's in the StreamingAssets folder were ignored. I moved the MP4's to my Resources folder and now Unity found them.

    Is this a bug? Or is Unity going to start handling videos differently with version 5.0? The current documentation still says to keep your videos in the StreamingAssets folder.

    Well I tried copying an MP4 to be in both StreamingAssets & Resources (hoping to make it work on both PC and mobile), but am getting the following error:

    unityError.png

    Not sure how to prevent the project from seeing the MovieTexture when building for iOS. I was hoping it would just ignore the file, instead of refusing to build.

    Yeah, I'm always hoping that, but unfortunately no.

    Quick update. I moved the MP4 from the Resources folder to a new folder called Videos, and now it will build for iOS without the "'MovieTexture' is not supported" error.

    Right click movie file and go reimport.
