Importing .mov files

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a way to import .mov files into Blitz and play them? Thanks for the info. |

Hello. Convert the .mov files to avi/mpeg and play them with Blitz's DirectShow commands. |
| ||
install the alternative quicktime codec from www.free-codecs.com, it will add MOV support to directShow IIRC. |

Thanks for the tips. I think I will go with the converting to .avi. I don't want my game to depend on other software that must be installed/downloaded separately. Nawi, do you know any app that can do this type of conversion? Thanks again. And thanks to you too jfk. |

You still won't know if a users machine supports the Avi codec you're using (eg. mp4 v2). So it may be a good idea to provide a codec installer, where I agree mov may be pretty uncommon, probably even a troublemaker regarding licenses. |
