Playing an MPEG

SDL Development
1

Hi,

are there any examples on how to play an MPEG video on SDL?

I once wrote an example on how to play an MJPEG (based on libmjpegutils).

What lib would i use best (video and sound) to just play an MPEG
on Linux?

Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.

Hi Torsten -

Could I get a copy of that example you wrote on how to play an MJPEG movie?

I’d appreciate it.

I write a little wrapper around SMPEG:

Hi Chris,

great, thanks for that one. I’ve just downloaded your wrapper.

Best regards,
