This block is EXPERIMENTAL!
Cinder block for playing video using FFmpeg's Libavcodec and the OpenAL libraries
Supports most video formats, including multi-track audio. Does NOT support video without audio tracks yet.
Included is the v4.0 Windows distribution of Libavcodec and OpenAL 1.1. Please refer to the FFmpeg website for more information on licensing.
- To successfully compile the application, define
__STDC_LIMIT_MACROSand__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS. - To successfully link the application, set "Image Has Safe Exception Handlers" to "No" in Configuration Properties > Linker > All Options.
- Can't play files without at least one audio track. Synchronization depends on audio.
- Seeking is supported, but scrubbing is not. After a seek, the video may be distorted until the next keyframe.
This block is meant to be used with version 0.9.1 of Cinder. See for more information on how to obtain this version: http://libcinder.org/download/
