Re: [SPAM] Simple video playing with SDL [<- WITHOUT SDL]

["Jonathan Winterflood" <jonathan winterflood gmail com>]

Hi,

I don't know how to go about it, but usually video playing is done using
'overlay': the area in the app is painted bright green, or pink (some
particular color) and the graphics card overlays the video onto any area
that color inside the coordinates specified by your program.
I think that would be the best , but I don't know how to instruct the video
card this way.. maybe the OpenGL Widget does some of this?

Otherwise, I made a small program that displays video from a webcam on a
network, and It simply uses a Drawing area and blits Pixbufs onto it
(probably really bad performance, but it works ok for my use)
