I saw FFMPEG but I didn't see any documentation for quick out of the box visual studio building into a library or DLL. I'll have to maybe do some more research. I want to load movies and render them in 3d space (either AVI or MP4). If anyone else has a different library that is recommended or easy I would appreciate it. I have an old NEHE tutorial that loads AVI videos from 10+ years ago, but it fails on a DrawDibDraw call to create a decompressed frame context. It grabs the video size and frame count just can't get that to work.

You probably want libavcodec instead of FFMPEG. It is used by VLC and can decode almost anything. Many games tend to use the Bink video format, but I think you would have to pay for that middleware, at least the encoder.

Looks like thats a part of FFMPEG or at least they own it now. Any suggested tutorials before I dig into this next week?
