Hi all, I would like to have a short movie clip (create using max application) in my openGL, can anyone tell me how to do that?
A lot of thanks!!!

First, you'll need to render your movie clip to a video file format, for example AVI. Then you use Google to find articles about how to play AVI files with OpenGL.

it sounds like you tried to copy paste the functions into your own program - that probably won't work. Read and understand the code, then reimplement it yourself, with the old code as a reference. That way it works, you know the code, and you understand how it works.

That's the tutorial I found--nehe lesson 35.

When I compiled...there was no error...and then make me blur that where was the problem...
:wacko: :sad:
Plsss help...Thanks...:worthy:

Does the example exe runs fine?. if not it may be a codec problem.
If yes there is something wrong in your code,the avi loading and playing part is until CloseAVI() function the rest you must understand well because it will be different than what will you do in your application.

A few months ago I tried using AVIFile to play some video, but I was unable to get it working with compressed videos. Seems to work only with uncompressed ones. I'm not sure if this the intended behaviour or not as the documentation about AVIStreamOpenFromFile() is not very helpful. I didn't have much time to investigate it further, but I suppose the Nehe's tutorial has exactly the same problem.

AVIFile works perfectly with compressed files. I used it numerous of times with success.
