Is it possible to play a video (.avi, etc.) ?

[kralos]

Hello !

My question is very simple : Is it possible to play a video (mp4, avi, etc) with Irrlicht ? And if it's possible, have you a tutorial for me ?
I have do some research but I haven't find informations (just old stuff : 2006-2008...)

Thank you

Videoformats are not build-in. You can use Irrlicht for displaying, but loading and decompressing needs a video-library instead (theora for example or ffmpeg).

You should of looked through the posts or searched the forum first, as this topic was posted just before you, half a page down

Here was the answer given

Er, maybe, but the OP's request was for formats *actually* in use.

It woud be good to have a sketch of the code. One can certainly find code on the internet to produce frames from, say, MPEG, but to use it as a texture requires the 'lock' call, doesn't it?

Enjoy selling a product that includes MP* video decoding. Patent royalties ahoy.

There's a reason even most AAA games use Ogg codecs or nowadays VP8.
