Re: [pygame] movie size limit
MPlayer can use SDL and plays pretty much everything. Any way you could
use that if it's availble on the system?
Yes, I'll update the docs that mpeg support is very limited, and
breaks for most movie files.
I'm very open to an alternate decoding backend. Ideally it would run
crossplatform so everyone could play. I've looked at libavfile a few
times. It seems very promising. Supports tons of video and audio
formats, runs crossplatform, and has some simple examples including an
SDL player.
I would definitely help anyone trying to get this rolling. Video
playback is a cool feature. Not really one that I'm going to use
though, so I'm not too motivated to start experimenting with some
small tricky code.
Oh, in case you are looking, libavfile is included with the ffmpeg
project.
