Hi, I'm trying to make a video playback engine, i'm new to unix and i'm not really sure what i should do. I might have to create my own engine that will play back mpg's swf's, avi's, ect... whatever I need to play back. I'm not sure where i need to go with this. I've never programmed video with unix...is there a way to easily play back video using pre-made components? What programming library should i use? Allegro? i'm not sure, i've never tried to do this with unix. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great. All i need to know is an easy way to play back video.
Thanks
