HOW TO PLAY A VIDEO ????

[jeromegz]

imagine a game without cinematique ?.But avi is not open and it is "propriétaire".How to display a movie ?
you have 3 choice
1) pay royalties
2) construct your own movie library (with a little help of libtheora or ogm format , ogg) -> very good choice , i plan a library but not today
3) play png sequence in a mesh :


IAnimatedMesh* complex = smgr->getMesh("../../media/plan.obj");
IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* nodecomp = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode( complex );

//utiliser du png pour moins de problemes de droits
//use png because it is royalties free !
if (nodecomp)
{
nodecomp->setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,false);


core::array<video::ITexture*> textures;

char tmp[64];
for (s32 ge=1; ge<55; ++ge)
{

/* if (ge<10)
sprintf(tmp, "../../media/Textures/caust0%d.jpg", ge);
if (ge>10)
sprintf(tmp, "../../media/Textures/caust%d.jpg", ge);
*/
if (ge<10)
sprintf(tmp, "../../media/Cinematiques/000%d.png", ge);
if (ge>= 10 && ge < 100)
sprintf(tmp, "../../media/Cinematiques/00%d.png", ge);

if (ge>= 100 && ge < 1000)
sprintf(tmp, "../../media/Cinematiques/0%d.png", ge);


video::ITexture* t = driver->getTexture(tmp);
textures.push_back(t);
}


scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* animcaustic = smgr->createTextureAnimator(textures, 32,true);

nodecomp->setMaterialType(video::EMT_SOLID );
nodecomp->addAnimator(animcaustic);

animcaustic->drop();



nodecomp->setScale(core::vector3df(5,5, 5));

}



but the probleme is that this exemple require an enorme quantity of memory to display png animation...

do not hesitate to reply if you have an idea about cinematiques

thank you

search the forum as video playing has been talked about a lot before!
