I just found this amazing video puzzle game written with the pygame library, which promises to be infinite fun - but I can't get it to decode any video file I own, except the game's own example .mpg. All I have is lots and lots of useless .avi, .mp2, .wmv, and so on...
Now, the pygame.Movie documentation says the Movie class can decode `MPEG movie files'. I know little about multimedia, but I thought divx/xvid video was a variant of MPEG4, and mp3 audio a variant of MPEG1 Layer 3. So obviously, `MPEG movie files' means something more specific than just `contains MPEG streams'. Does anyone know what precisely it means? Even better, how should I instruct transcode or similar programs to re-encode existing files so that Movie objhects can be created from them? -- No animal was harmed in the composition of this message. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
