Hello, I am not familiar with old programming, but anyway I love it, so I am going to play video in DOS.
Of course, there are already several players such as Mplayer and QuickView, but I need to combine my game and the player so that the game could play movies by itself.
I searched and searched possible solutions, and reached to the result that FFMpeg is the best tool to develop it.
But there are still so many problems.
1. There is FFMpeg DOS port and it says that it supports DJGPP, but it causes so many errors while compiling.
2. FFMpeg will be used to just decode the video. To output the video to the screen, renderer will be needed.
How can I solve this problem? Direct X or SDL are widely used in other OS, but I am not sure they can be used in DOS, too.
Please help me, I have been struggling due to this issues for more than a week.
Thank you so much
