Playing Movies on BlitzMax

Hello.

Sadly not a solution but a potential workaround suggestion...

With the display of HTML pages possible through MaxGui, I'm assuming it's likely that all elements get displayed, including movies.

Would it be possible, then, to copy the image displayed on the HTML pane and move that onto an image buffer for display on a graphics display? I appreciate it's not an elegant solution but it's something I might need to look at doing for a current development, which isn't going to be placing a huge amount of demand on the computer (and everything would be local, so wouldn't have to worry about actually streaming the content)

It makes sense to me, I'm just wondering if it is:
a) feasible;
b) worth the effort.

Any thoughts?

Goodbye.

Arghh. Suggestions like that makes God cry :)

To put it mildly. That sounds very horrible and is probably too slow/too impossible to do.

Do a search for MPlayer, MCI and MPEG on the forums.
Quite a few suggestions based on your supported platforms:)

You could see if this will meet your needs:
