Playing ROQs during play

[Springheel]

I'd like to play a short clip at the beginning of my mission, similar to what Sotha has done, but in the 3rd person. I know it can be done with a cutscene, but is it also possible to play a fullscreen ROQ video at mission start? Ideally I'd like to capture some footage with FRAPS, put it together with a video editing program and then play it just as the mission begins.

Maybe there's a script function to call before the mission starts? And also at certain times during the mission. I'm very interested myself in the answer.

You should be able to create a cut-scene that just consists of a "video-textured" brush that occupies the whole screen, ...no?

 

(not sure if there's a more elegant method...)

...Actually this Brian Trepanning definition looks like it would do the trick as intended...
