To play .avi video files in Unity, you need to convert them first to a compatible format. Follow these steps to transfer .avi video files to Unity:

1. Convert .avi to a compatible format: Use a video converter like Handbrake or Any Video Converter to convert your .avi files to a compatible format like MP4 or OGG.

2. Import the video file into Unity: In Unity, go to the Assets folder and click on Import New Asset. Navigate to the location of the converted file and select it. Unity will automatically import the file into the project.

3. Create a new game object: Right-click in the Hierarchy panel and select Create Empty. Give it a name like VideoPlayer.

4. Add a Video Player component: With the new game object selected, click the Add Component button and choose Video > Video Player.

5. Set the video source: In the Video Player component, click on the Video Clip field and select the video file you imported earlier.

6. Set the playback settings: Choose the appropriate playback settings for your video. For example, you can set it to play on start, loop, or control its playback speed.

7. Preview the video: Press Play in the Unity Editor to preview the video in the Scene View or Game View.

That's it! You have successfully transferred a .avi video file to Unity.
