put solid cube template in.
textured this with the 'yellow' texture that comes with RF

Q. How does the VideoTextureReplacer entity work?

A. The AVI file must be the same size as the texture it replaces. Also, make sure that the codec the video is using is installed on your system.
The rfsplas.avi is 640x480 in size which is not a power of 2 and not the same size as the texture you tried to replace.
