video playback within GUI for intros

hi!
im still looking for a playback solution for videos (theora) within the GUI for gameIntros etc.
im developing on the MAC with the 1.7.4 Game Builder.
i have created a .Gui and i saw the .ogg video playing in the GUI Builder, pretty fine.
but when i tested it with a demo build i only got a black screen.
i checked all paths and so on...
so i ve tested several ideas and code from the forum here but
i failed (or it failed) - i never saw the video running in my test build.
after all i think there can be a problem on the mac playing .ogg files
within TGE or something in that direction?
has anyody same experience or or is there
a code solution to playing ogg videos in a gui and official tutorial?
ive tried a lot of that code here for from the forum but nothing
of that worked in my case.

If i place a GuiTheora control and set a video, when it plays torque crashes.
Is this a known problem? How can i get Theora working on T3D without crashing..

I was about to open a post about Theora, but guess this will fit anyway.If i place a GuiTheora control and set a video, when it plays torque crashes.

No, AFAIK you are the first to report this.
It would be very helpful if you could reproduce the crash in a debug build and post a dump of the stacktrace here.
Also, are there errors in the console.log?

Moved the thread to the TGB section.

This is a bit confusing. Where's Torque 3D coming into this?
What I gather is, you are using TGB 1.7.4 on the Mac and have some problem playing a Theora video. Right?
It would help if you could explain in a little more detail what you are trying to do and where and how it goes wrong.
