Playing any form of video in a clanlib application

[martinsmith_storm]

Hi All

I have made a number of games in clanlib and I would like to be able to play a form of a video sequence in my applications. I have found some tutorials on creating an .AVI player in an OpenGL application. Is it possible to play any form of video in a clanlib applications. If not is there a way I could take the data from a video file and build it into clanlib objects for playback. I know this could be done by building up a sprite with each frame of the film being a frame in the sprite, but the loading for a sprite that size would be huge, I imagine. If none of these are possibilities, if I could build the openGl player would I be able to fit it into the existing clanlib code for display.

Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Martin

Maybe someone will be nice and send an example to include with ClanLib (by adapting the Display_Render/pixelbuffer example)

For interest

What platform would you want to target?

Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 / Linux

Commercial or Free?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I looked for that thread and couldn't find it, so for repetition. I am developing on Windows 7 but also needs to work on XP. I make games for myself, to build up a portfolio of games. Now I have found that thread I will get in contact with the person who had made the player and see how it works. I will also look at the article on taking the pixel data from a file and loading it into a pixelBuffer for drawing. might be a possibility.

Thank you for your help.
