Playvideo - svgalib video player

Playvideo

This is a program that plays video files (avi, qt, mpeg) on svgalib

Not many codecs are supported for avi and qt:

MJPG (a few variants)

CRAM8

CRAM16

RLE8

RPZA

CVID

IV31

IV32

IV41

uncompressed

If you want to add support for a new decoder, please tell me.

Most of the codecs are ported from xanim (or are xanim binary codecs). The parts from xanim are to be found mainly in the vidplay.c file. This makes this program subject to the xanim copyright (see README.xanim)

You can use the program for non-commercial purpose, but you need a License from Mark Podlipec for commercial use.

Modified versions must include Mark's copyright.

Current limitations:

Only 8 or 16 bit mono audio is supported.

Only playing to 32 bit or 16bit modes is currently supported.

Download source.

For quicktime and mpeg support, the program uses libraries written by Adam Williams , available from http://heroine.linuxave.com.

A slightly modified version of the libraries, that is more fit for use with playvideo is available here.
