avi instead roq

[Exmirai]

Could we use *.avi videos instead *.roq?

[CaptainCrazy]

Not that I know of...

[afi]

I think razor worked on some alternative for roq

[Raz0r]

Not me. JKG had theora+vorbis codecs in ogg containers.

 

It's possible, but I don't know anyone specifically who plans on adding it.

It won't be hard for uncompressed AVIs.

For compressed ones you'd need to add decoders (aka hard).

 

Just curious: is there anything wrong with ROQ? Why instead? Why not additively?

ROQ doesn't like widescreen, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

 

I played through JK2 recently and oddly enough they played, although stretched they still played. Never seen a JA ROQ video work in widescreen though.

And now you have.

Isn't that Mac only or something that it works?

[Raz0r]

I think OJK fixed some widescreen ROQ issues.

How do you embed from dropbox? Possible to embed video from other websites and what formats?

Excuse me for offtop.

I don't see avi happening because of codecs to play all the general formats that are possible within an avi container.

 

ROQ just works for what it is, you shouldn't be trying to play actual movies you downloaded off the internets within JA ;p

[eezstreet]

Your best bet would be to get some kinda universal format like an ogv file. AVIs aren't like image formats or sound files. They rely on codecs, which require them being installed on the computer of the person who wants to play the game. I just don't see that sorta thing happening unfortunately.

Yep. So one could probably reference the code it uses or something and implement it in OpenJK. Unless they already have.

Direct links to MP4 files are embedded automatically. Only works on the major browsers though. (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE)

Don't use Opera. Looks like it's the only browser that doesn't support MP4 HTML 5 aside from certain versions of Firefox. I changed the link just for you though.

What do modern games use then? I know most Mac versions use MOV files because it's guaranteed to work on all Macs. What would it be for Windows?

[Omicron]

Still looks the same to me Circa

 

EDITL Fine now :L

OGV, like AVI, 3GP, ASF, FLV, MKV, MP4, and many others are just container formats for audio and video.

 

You can have any format audio and video inside them, and all audio and video formats (including RoQ) require codecs to play them. ('Codec' is basically just a name for "code that can encode and/or decode a certain file format")

[eezstreet]

yea that

[Futuza]

Why not?  I'm sure JA would be a great new movie pirating program.

 

 

On the other hand if someone does take the time to add support for a bunch of different video codecs (begin operation merge vlc source code!), I'm not going to stop them.  Kudos to them.

Anything from the Aspyr mac ports is not available in the source release.
