Cutscene support
on: January 23, 2006, 01:29:57 pm
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but according to this page, ffmpeg supports mve.
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ffmpeg-doc.html

I remember Taylor saying he was going to use ffmpeg for linux avi and mpeg support. Could this be used for mve support?

It's been noticed. Don't hold your breath for it though as Taylor tends to be pretty busy.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Alright. I hadn't seen any talk about it around the boards, so I thought I'd mention it.

Thanks anyway.

Hmm... Must be an other Version of MVE as the FreeSpace 1/2 ones...
I tested it and I couldn't play the CutScenes...

ffplay and mplayer didn't play anything.
xine was able to play audio, but the screen was black... No video...
But it knows, that it is Interplay-Video:
Code: [Select]
[interplayvideo @ 0xb6511084] Interplay video: motion offset < 0 (-3196)
[interplayvideo @ 0xb6511084] Interplay video: decode problem on frame 281, @ block (8, 0)
[interplayvideo @ 0xb6511084] Interplay video: motion offset < 0 (-3196)
[interplayvideo @ 0xb6511084] Interplay video: decode problem on frame 282, @ block (8, 0)
[interplayvideo @ 0xb6511084] Interplay video: motion offset < 0 (-1274)
[interplayvideo @ 0xb6511084] Interplay video: decode problem on frame 283, @ block (0, 0)

Most of the MVE support is for 8-bit movies, not the 16-bit that FS uses.  I think that someone told me current ffmpeg supports 16-bit movies, but the current release that I have doesn't.  But if it doesn't it's not really a concern, when you consider what the 3.6.7 Linux and OS X versions have anyway.
