I wanted to put the wonderful :swear:DEAN SCREAM (http://www.cycles3d.com/spacechads/dean_reloaded.wmv) :swear: (note: not the one I will use but the best I could find for now) in my level as a secret which could get a few lols. Can it be done and what does the video textures do and how they be used?

You need to create a .roq file (http://www.planetwolfenstein.com/tramdesign/tutorials/tut_roq.html) (the video file) and then make a shader for your video as follows:

textures/sg_misc/eh
{
q3map_nolightmap
{
videoMap textures/sg_misc/eh
}
}

Not too much, you will definately know a video is running but it won't kill FPS, it's more like an animmap just without any limits on number of frames.

how would you get a 'camera' that would follow some one and show through a texture on a wall somewhere else?

You can't get camera's to follow people in MP.

I'm pretty sure there is software out there that can tear apart a wmv file and export as a series of bmp's, it's a Google thing methinks.
