Videos and Anims in the inbuilt formats

[jaseinblack]

Hi all

I'm trying to get a video to play on layers. In order to do this, the docs say I need to use an in-built loader. I don't mind if it's an anim or a video, but GIFANIM has too much dithering so I want to use MJPEG or CDXL.

I've tried FFMEG to create an MJPEG file but Hollywood won't accept it ("MJPEG.avi" is in an unknown/unsupported format!).

I've tried creating a CDXL using AGAConv (https://mschordan.github.io/amiga/agaconv.html) but this file isn't recognised by Hollywood either.

Is there a particular video/anim configuration that is required, or are there better tools for converting to inbuilt formats?

Thanks

Jason

have you used AVcodec plugin ?
avcoded is based in ffmpeg it should load and play without problem

do you have any sample "non supported" avi to test?
where is this limitation in layers mention in docs ?
