5.6 video import
Issue #12
resolved
The 5.6 release has the Video Player component, so it will most likely that the amount of video assets will increase after its release in March. It might be an idea to take ABGT for 1.2 with some basic 5.6 support for these assets. Prior 5.6 will just be using the regular video assets, but the VPC allows H.264 with audio playback (and as well-processed smaller files - raw MOV of 600Mb becomes some megabytes), so it will certainly motivate increased usage as downloadable content. Besides that with Unity 2017's Timeline feature, AssetBundles will provide another great distributive format as the VPC has 4K playback, but platforms will adjust their DLC's based on bandwidth. Maybe something to put on the backlog.

Since 5.6b is released, I will look into this and see if this can be supported in ABGT 1.2.

These assets are mainly just video, but the importer of course has some settings. That same importer can be set to import the asset as MovieTexture (Legacy). The first thing I can think of are transcode options for the dimensions in the AssetBundle.

Currently it looks it will need a separate filter type and importer adjustments. It does go quietly into the AB build, so there is minor tweaking to do here.

- changed milestone to 1.2

@homae maybe you should release 1.2 and release this in 1.3 once 5.6 is out along with other fixes?

The tool supports Unity 5.4.1f1 and above, including Unity 5.6b3. One of the major features in 5.6 is video. As this is mostly an importer adjustment, I do not see the reason why it should be postponed as b9 is the current status and according the planned roadmap, the 5.6 release will be in less than some weeks. I think this feature will significantly increase the value of ABGT, as variant distribution of assets - including video - belong in AssetBundle practices.

Resolved issue with commit 988778b .
NOTE: Transcoding crashed Unity in 5.6b3, so some of the importer features are not tested. I will test these in future versions of Unity

It's just we both said "Don't worry" but then you were like "Nah, I'm Hiroki, I can do this" :) Nice job!
