Video Plugin Overview
The Ogre library does not provide any video decoding internally. However, there are a few plugins written for Ogre that allow you to decode various codecs into an Ogre texture. In fact, there are three plugins: Theora, Directshow and FFmpeg.
Theora Plugin (Win32/Linux)
This is the most stable/flexible plugin. And it's actively maintained: Theora Video Plugin
Directshow Plugin (Win32)
This plugin has been developed using Directshow libraries, that's why is only available for Windows platforms. This plugin allows to use a video file as texture for a material, being able to play near any file that can be played in Windows Media Player.
You can find the DirectShow plugin in ogreaddons/videoplugin. More information here: DirectShowVMR9 Plugin.
FFmpeg Plugin
Not supported or updated. Be aware, FFmpeg contains many codecs (mpeg1 & 2, mp3, divx, etc), some of which are patented and may be risky to use with out first paying royaly use rights.
You can find FFmpeg plugin in ogreaddons/videoplugin. If you are still unsure how to check out code from SVN, check the main Ogre page (www.ogre3d.org) for Add-on information.
