This was supposed to be added in 1.0 but wasnt. GG has said they are adding it to future releases, but that was months ago and they still havent. I am waiting for this too and im hoping it comes soon. :)

Some friends of mine used a sequence of low-res PNG files and a single GuiBitmapCtrl and a function "setBitmap" over and over to create a "flip book" style animation. With this, they were able to create a 3d interactive GUI menu and you could use it to create a video. It wouldn't be as resource efficient as the Theora, but I played around with it and it does work quite well.
