Theora support?

General Discussion
#1

Hi!
Can I reproduce Theora (.ogv file) with Panda3d?
For what i read ffmpeg support it but in the compatibility list says “encoding supported through external library libtheora”.

What i would have to do?

Thanks!!

Have you tried it? Just replace the .avi file in the Media Player sample program with an .ogv file of your choice.

Hi rdb,
Thanks for your reply. I was trying as the manual says:

myMovieTexture=loader.loadTexture("myMovie.ogv")

and didn’t work. Then i tried with a texturemovie as in the sample script.

self.tex = MovieTexture("name")
assert self.tex.read("myMovie.ogv"), "Failed to load video!"

and it works.

Ah, we simply didn’t recognise .ogv as a video extension by default. I’ll check in a fix for 1.8.2.

Oh great!, thanks.
