As soon as you call Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie the screen fades from your current content to the designated background color. It might take some time before the movie is ready to play. In the meantime, the player continues displaying the background color and may also display a progress indicator to let the user know the movie is loading. When playback finishes, the screen fades back to your content.
Unity plays video files using Apple’s embedded player (as of SDK 3.2 and iPhone OS 3.1.2 and earlier). This contains a bug that prevents Unity from switching to mute.
The Apple video player and iPhone SDK do not provide a way to adjust the orientation of the video. To fix this, you can manually create two copies of each movie in landscape and portrait orientations. Then, the orientation of the device can be determined before playback so the right version of the movie can be chosen.
