Because .. i understand in NT stations you can only import AVI files ... If it were a SGI station you could then import Quicktime and SGI movies also.

I suppose it´s because of the *Mov dilemma (How could Maya diferentiate between a quicktime *mov .. and a maya *mov...

(Well now that i think about it they could with a meta-header but that´s another story) ..

Besides that wouldn´t be an image plane but a Nurbs surface the one you want to display your movie in right? So in that case i suppose you could actually texture it with the movie itself (if it were in the right format) Shouldn´t it fellas?

Might want to check Maya´s docs on that one ...

Hope it helps ... bye
