Re: [pygame] SDL_ffmpeg vs ffmpeg

[Alexandre Quessy <alexandre@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,
Don't worry, Tyler and Lenard. I am glad if I can help you guys
developing a better support for such formats in Pygame. I really think
it worths it for the reason I mentioned earlier.

Here is an example of a motion-JPEG movie file :
http://toonloop.com/static/black_duck.mov It was made with ToonLoop, a
Python application using Pygame. (exporting JPEG and using mencoder to
convert it to Motion-JPEG)

I will most likely set up a Windows box this summer, for
cross-platform development. For now, I only have Linux and Mac
computers around. I can test on those platform any code you ask me to
test. I know C and C++ as well.

Cheers,

a
