Hello everyone,

This has probably been thought of before, but I haven’t found any discussion on  
the matter.

Has anyone attempted to code a SMPEG like library that is able to read Theora  
videos and dump them in to a SDL surface?

If this has been talked of before, or is for some reason impossible to do, then  
I apologize for the post. But if such a lib exists, please let me know.

Thanks!  
Micah
