[ros-general] AVI video playback under ROS --- now possible (firsttime ever under ROS :-) )

[Tobias Ussing]

Im pretty sure the linux mplayer is being ported to windows, and im also 
rather sure that they do have a working player for windows, atleast it 
worked once. Not to ruin your work, but i think it would be a better idea to 
get mplayer working, especially since it supports virtually all usable 
formats. Quicktime, realmedia(video and audio), sørensen(i belive all of 
them), wmv(all of them), mpeg1-2. divx, xvid, and some others.

Good work in the player :D looks nice.

>As for AVI, you can playback any one, which is DIVX4-encoded.

>Known limitations:
>To watch video you must have 32bpp video mode set (like vmx_svga driver, or

>Only DIV4 supported
>Video image isn't resized if you resize windows (absence of
>StretchDIBits() )
>many others probably.

>Let me know of any problems though :)
