Hi.
I just posted a new tutorial on how to setup and play a background movie inside a Blender's view. This is one simple operation that is, IMHO, badly documented and that should be accessible to everyone since it's vital for any kind of compositing and motion graphics work.

Watch it here: http://preta3d.com/wp/archives/91

I just watched your other tutorial on FBM.  Very well done.  Thank you very much. 

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

I'm not getting the same import dialog box that you show in your video.  I was using Blender 2.49 and updated to the lasted one 2.49a.  I still get a different import dialog box than what is shown in your video..

I don't have the PolyGroup option in my dialog box.  Am I missing a script or on the wrong version?

What version of Python are you running? For the dialog to work you have to have 2.5 running. What OS?

Well, when I updated to 2.49a, it said I needed Python 2.6.  So I installed it.
Blender's console window reports that it finds 2.6 on start up.

WindowsXP

Before, with 2.49, I'm pretty sure I was still on Python 2.5 and didn't see it either.

2.6 should be fine. I still run 2.49, not .249a, I'll check if anything is different.

Reddog, I just ran 2.49a, on Mac OS, and the Polygroup options are there. The dialogs look a bit different because Campbel added more options, and the Polygroup buttons are by default off, I turn them on by default, but they should be there. If it doesn't work for you I would check the console for possible error messages. Alsp be sure that you have only one version of Python installed. Multiple version will likely cause trouble.

Here's the dialog window I get with import OBJ:

I tried removing Python25 ( I renamed the directory).  No change.

Is there a different version?

@Reddog, are you sure you're running 2.49, check the version at the top of the Blender window. That dialog is pre-2.48

Got another idea. Is it possible that you have a copy of that script in another directory where you keep additional Python scripts?
