(btw - where IS OMS? I can't find it. stoopid search engines...) I actually think it's quite silly that anything other than the actual display portion require a GUI of any kind. (sorry - pet peave with 90% of these operations.... SDL's mpeg player's pretty much the only exception that I've seen) If you're going to make something modular, make it -modular- hrm also an observation that CODECs for Quicktime and AVI are pretty similar with different metadata seeds (ie: headers) but same information. I haven't yet checked into other CODEC-able media formats... G'day, eh? :) - Teunis who's coding not paying lots of attention right now :) |
