  Hi K,

  In general, an overview of the available plug-ins (and information on them) can be found here. How to install a plug-in is explained here.

  What you will want to do, is to download one of the video plug-ins. There are a few of those, some of which might or might not work on your platform. Most of them are still under further construction. I recommend starting with the VLC plug-in, to try if that works on your platform.

  1) Go to this page and click on the Download ZIP button.

  2) Once the zip-archive is downloaded, extract its contents.

  3) Place the contents in a single folder, named media_player_vlc.

  4) Place the media_player_vlc in your plug-ins folder (see this page for the precise location).

  5) Download VLC from the VideoLAN website.

  6) Install it on the default location (i.e.: do not change anything when you install it).

  NOTE: vlc_media_player might just be installed in your version of OpenSesame already! Check first, before downloading everything. If the plug-in is already installed, jump to step 5.

  NOTE 2: Don't try to do this using the portable version. Use the standalone version of OpenSesame.

  Good luck!
