I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to play a video from within a BlitzMax Project. Best Regards,

Actually wx.Mod seens to do the trick.

pantson has two modules that play Ogg Theora and MPEG. (there's converters that convert other formats into theora)

I was looking for video playback not long ago, and couldnt really find anything appropriate, so I split my .avi file into individual image frames, saved them as mid-quality jpg's at 512x512, then loaded them into a banks, before proceeding to load them as images and drawing them with DrawImageRect! Worked a charm, and kept the 'video' size right down! Dabz

Hmmm, neat idea.
