The movie texture assumes the following:

• an entire multiple frame sequence is stored in a single multiple frame file (a movie file) instead of a sequence of individual image files.
• is optimized for reading and displaying those frames interactively as quickly as possible.

The Movie texture shares the same attributes as the File texture. The difference is that the Movie texture assumes all frames are stored in a single concatenated file using the assigned Image Name instead of separate files.
