Hello,

Embededd Wizard does not contain the necessary video decoder. You would need to integrate such decoder by yourself and display the contents e.g. in a separate video layer lying behind the GUI. In the case your video is very short (it consists of few frame) and it is small (the video area is small) you can use the animated bitmaps feature. This is typically useful for all cases of animated icons or logos. To display large videos, however, this is not the appropriate way.
