I am trying to use pymedia ( http://pymedia.sourceforge.net/ ) to play a
compressed (divx AVI) video file. I can get it to display video, but I
have a feeling I'm doing something wrong, because it's really slow. Has
anyone had any success playing compressed video in pygame?
David, you may have luck with the new experimental movie decoder in the
current pygame prerelease. It works well on linux, but will require
libavcodec on windows to work properly. The decoder works well, but
won't soon be supporting some of the regular pygame Movie features, like
seeking. When you get it running it will be in the 'movieext' pygame module.
