Re: [email] Re: [GD-General] Video codecs

[Dan T. <da...@ar...>]

XVid I had problems installing under limited user access, so I wouldn't go
with that. Couldn't figure out why a video codec needed admin access, but it
wouldn't run without it. I was most bitter.

Bink and Smacker seem to do pretty nicely from what I've seen, and they've
been around so long that the tech should be incredibly mature. I
decompressed a smacker(bink?) video off of the Mechwarrior 2 cd i had lying
around.. and thats an old (but awesome!) game.

Ogg Vorbis is also nifty, but I also had problems getting it work under LUA.
Finally got it to work, but it was a trial, let me tell you.
