TheoraVideoPlugin

From Ogre Wiki

This is the Wiki home for the new and improved Ogre Theora Video Plugin.

With this plugin, you can stream Ogg Theora video files in your 3D application. Frames are extracted and copied onto a texture and audio is abstracted out and can be used as eg. OgreAL::Sound, FMOD, or your custom audio system.

This Wiki is designed to provide as much information about the plugin use and development as humanly possible. If you want to edit/write articles, read the Ogre Handbook first.

I've begun working on the new ogrevideo plugin, Basically it will be an interface between libtheoraplayer and Ogre. I intend to develop on Ogre 1.6; Ogre 1.7 port (if necessary) will be done in the future. Expect a RC1 release after the new interface is complete.

Those of you who prefer using the old version, you can find it in the SVN at branches/monolith or trunk revision 96.

libtheoraplayer 1.0 RC1 has just been released, once 1.0 is released, I'll make a wrapper for ogre as promised.

have a look at http://libtheoraplayer.sf.net . You'll find the 1.0 RC1 SDK with five compiled demo programs to wet your appetite ;)

December 24th 2009

I recently began working on libtheoraplayer (see previous news for more details) and have already made significant improvements:

YUV -> RGB conversion is now twice as fast!
smooth video restart
added support for more conversions (RGB,RGBA,ARGB,GREY,GREY3...)
etc

the new project is hosted on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtheoraplayer/

Further library news and updates will be anounced on that project's website, while the ogrevideo project will become an Ogre wrapper for libtheoraplayer once version 1.0 is finished.
