1. Video, AVIs and MPEG
Would anyone have suggestions for running or playing video from within
Windows ?
I have noticed not much had been done in this area (looking at the
archives), yet I thought Euphoria could be great for scripting/controlling
multimedia - it can easily access the low level, relatively fast, and a
small simple language. It seems a very good fit for Multimedia.
Cheers,
Peter

I once considered writing my own MP3 decoder in straight code, and I'm sure it
would work great and would be excellent for writing a multi-platform MP3 player
(even DOS!) but I can't seem to find any docs on how to decode an MP3, just the
header and id3 info... oh well, the hunt continues... If anyone can 'crack' the
file encoding process or reverse-engineer it, that'd be great. In threory if
you could decode an AVI file in straight code, and translate each frame to a
bitmap, and strip it to 256 colors, you could make a DOS AVI player, too! That
would be neat!

There are some links to LAME, people say
this open source encoder is better than
the original MP3 encoder:
http://mitiok.cjb.net/
Try please.
I am an avid old DOS coder too.
Avid to undestanding what I am doing.
Colin Tailor have made excellent EU TTF
font recoder for DOS.
Why not Greg's EU MP3 codec?
