Does anyone know what the future is for the movie module ?
Will be eventually be included in all builds ? It would be
great if it also supported a more modern video format
(mpeg1 is not great for HD movies).
Or should I be looking for an alternative ? I did see a
post somewhere about piping data to/from ffmpeg ?
Cheers,
Ted.

Hello Ted,
Thatâs quite the effort, and Iâd love to give it a
go on my Kubunutu Linux setup, but the pygame movie
module isnât implemented here, so my pygame cannot
play the .mpg videos :(
python TimeTrek.py

 Âmovie = pygame.movie.Movie("movies/PreIntro.mpg")

It would be great if you could get an account on pygame.org so you could post
your game there for discovery and feedback.
Can anyone here help Ted showcase his game on pygame.org?

Hi guys,
I've been unsuccessful at getting registered on pygame.org, so I thought
I'd post a link to my game here. Sorry if that's
the wrong thing to do.
My game (Time Trek) is based on a game I played on
the TRS-80 (micro
computer from the late 70s). I've updated...
everything a bit :-)
