Playing Video FIles with SMPEG
Ok since I've always seen this question come up quite a lot of the past year, and no one has been able to find out how to do this on the Windows platform, I've written a complete tutorial for all you guys and gals that need to play MPEG files with SDL.
Online Tutorial
Word Document
Fairly straight forward, I tried to explain everything for even a beginner at SDL. It is assumed though you do have expeirence with SDL and C++. If anyone runs into any troubles with it, let me know of what I can fix. Just be aware of the license SMPEG uses before you use it and distribute it. Enjoy!
Screenshots:
BTW - the quality shown is of the actual trailer itself, it was made to look that way, so don't think the quiality for all are bad. It's actually really good, and if you got a different file to use, you'll see what I mean. Oh and I made a mistake I will fix, it's HitMan 4, not 3 that I used.
Nicely done! Maybe one day you should put up a little link to it on your website, haha. Also, get a screenshot up there! You can't have enough screenshots in an online tutorial [wink]. Well done, Drew.
[smile] Oh yea, well I do need to add it to my *real webpage*. Actually the only reason I didn't put it up there yet was not to eat bandwith, might as well let my University handle that [wink]. But I did not think about adding screen shots, thanks for that suggestion. I'll get those made and uploaded right away. Thanks! I'll also fix the content on the tutorial as well.
nice - amazing!!! your complete package is not available but it does nto matter.

Hi I was just wondering if anybody knows how to render the video onto a OpenGL texture using SDL and SMPEG, just like Nehe Lesson 35, the AVI video rendering version. How do you load it in SDL through to a OpenGL context, and all the messy GL bits...? Im a newie to SDL...
Ok I've already talked to Will about doing that, but I'll go ahead and post it here if anyone else was interested.
Referring back to this thread which has a SDL_Movie wrapper made, I added in the OpenGL specifics. The key thing to note is that when you convert the SDL_Surface to the texture, you cannot use Steinsoft's as is. It took me 30 minutes to figure out that when you are working with these movie files, you have to instead use: gluBuild2DMipmaps(GL_TEXTURE_2D,4,bmpFile->w, bmpFile->h,GL_BGRA_EXT, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE,bmpFile->pixels); Note the 4 and the GL_BGRA! Otherwise the movie is distorted and does not work correctly. Here is the complete code example, you can refer to other thread on this if you want the tutorial and the movie for it.
Now that should all work, but as you will see when you run it, it is very slow. The reason is because (from my PM):
So using SMPEG though SDL to get to OpenGL is definitly not the way to go! I have a rather above average computer, and it was running rather 'unnatural' for me as well. Your best bet is to opt for something that can be used natively with OpenGL. On one of those threads, another mention was made to another library, but I've never used it yet, but chances are you'd get better results with that over this.

Now that should all work, but as you will see when you run it, it is very slow. The reason is because (from my PM):
Quote:
First, you can take a look at this link for the general approach to converting a SDL_Surface* to a Opengl texture. That works for the most part, but the image ends up flipped and mirrored. You can take a look at my post here to see how you can easily fix that, but here lies the problem. If each frame, you load a SDL_Surface from a movie file, which takes A time, then you have to flip those pixels, which will take B time, then you have to convert that surface to an OpenGL texture, which takes C time, to which afterwards you still have to bind the texture and draw it, which takes D time, and you're still not done because you have to free that texture, which takes E time, you have quite a lot of overhead for this process. Needless to say, if you have a larger movie to render, then your frame rate will probabally roll over and die! If you have a smaller movie file it could be do-able, but maybe not to the best of your interests for your program.
So using SMPEG though SDL to get to OpenGL is definitly not the way to go! I have a rather above average computer, and it was running rather 'unnatural' for me as well. Your best bet is to opt for something that can be used natively with OpenGL. On one of those threads, another mention was made to another library, but I've never used it yet, but chances are you'd get better results with that over this.
i want to ask a quesetion, this time i did some program use SDL,and i want use it to play video, i find must to use smpeg, so i down load some file, it include .cpp .dll and so on,but donot have .lib,
i work in windows, i cannot untie package about liunx ,
so is smpeg must on liunx? and the smpeg.lib live on liunx?
or is i donot find right?
please tell me thank you very much, thanks a lot.
if you know the smpeg.lib down load address(internet),can you pass it to me?
or send the file to me.
my email:mangshe0@163.com
thankyou very much
and i am sorry my english......谢谢

The online tutorial doesn't exist anymore, and the word document just links to a bunch of other files that don't exist. Why didn't you just copy the text of the tutorial into the document instead of adding all these useless forms and links. This tutorial is utterly useless until you fix this.
You're about six years too late.
