I wish Unity's built-in videoplayer wasn't such a disappointment. The performance on Windows is god awful. Have had to write a mass video reference recompressor/in-scene replacer that just attempts to pick the best compression flags and reduces resolution just avoid dropping frames playing ~1080p videos on multi-core PC's with discrete GPU's. Mac was fine playing even the overly high res original footage, high 2000+ pixel portrait tutorial videos.

Wrote a proper double-buffering video/audio player in Unity using parts of an ffmpeg wrapper over ten years ago. Seems silly they never did anything similar officially, just used lackluster platform API's.



Completely agree! Unfortunately this is the Unity MO.

A tool that's a bit half baked.

They have been doing a hell of a lot better lately though.
