Playing MPG?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Playing MPG?

im sure i saw something for AVIs somewhere somewhen. Not mpeg tho. There must be a dll someplace for this.

You could always find/write(in vb or something) a commandline based player and exec it ie:
player.exe filename.mpg /fullscreen /volume
but you would need distro permission unless you wrote it yourself.

The other problem would be halting execution while movie is playing.

If you find a good stable way, let me know as im after something like this too.
