Decode AVI frames to textures

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Decode AVI frames to textures

Hi I've been trying to find some info/code to handle decoding an AVI (either by saving the frames to disk, or displaying as textures). I@m not just after an AVI movie player. Although I've found bits and peices, I've not found anything which seems to be a "standard" way of handling this by the Blitz community. So, question remains: What's the best approach which everyone uses? Thanks!

if you just want movie frames and not bothered about the format of the movie. I have written a theora movie player (ability to decode individual frames to a pixmap). theora format is free for commercial applications. You can convert movies to theora format by using ffmpeg2theora. See the links in my sig

I think you can load AVI's using BaH.Magick.

And BaH.AVBin, for that matter...
