Movie

Hello, one (maybe stupid :)) question from me. Is it possible in lite-c to play avi/mpeg movie directly in 3d environment of game? For example something like virtual 3D cinema. The video should not be in decent quality and should be controllable (play, pause, ff, rewind...)

Thanks very much in advance.

not sure about ff and rewind but rest is possible.

Thanks, good news. I must make application similar to cinema, so it must be a little bit interactive. Is there somewhere a good tutorial? By the way, isnt it too complicated? I have a little time.
Thanks again

it is fairly easy, but looks like you need atleast Commercial edition to play videos on objects.

check media_play from the manual.

looks good and easy. I will try it immediately

So I have managed to make video play on bitmap. In the manual is written, that I can use bitmaps of any size but when I try bigger pictures, I can not see any video, just hear the sound. Whats the matter? The biggest fully working bitmap was 320*240...

Possibly there is something wrong with your video card.
What kind of video card do you have? (Intel, nVidia, etc)

Or he may not have the correct codecs installed.

i have amd ati graphic card (3200 and 3870). Codecs are just default windows. maybe it could be the problem. however, it doesnt matter now, because the project is successfully finished. thanks for your help guys.

Any pics from your project?

its not codec or drivers issue.

the bitmap must have the same video SIZE.

the bitmap had the same resolution as movie. but as i said, it does not matter now.here are some pics
