This is the Wiki home for the new and improved [http://www.sf.net/projects/ogrevideo|Ogre Theora Video Plugin].

With this plugin, you can stream [http://www.theora.org/|Ogg Theora] video files in your 3D application.
Frames are extracted and copied onto a texture and audio is abstracted out and can be used as eg. OgreAL::Sound, FMOD, or your custom audio system.

This Wiki is designed to provide as much information about the plugin use and development as humanly possible. If you want to edit/write articles, read the ((Help:OgreWiki Handbook|Ogre Handbook)) first.

!!!News
__January 13th 2010__
I've begun working on the new ogrevideo plugin, Basically it will be an interface between [http://libtheoraplayer.sf.net|libtheoraplayer] and Ogre.
I intend to develop on Ogre 1.6; Ogre 1.7 port (if necessary) will be done in the future.
Expect a RC1 release after the new interface is complete.
Those of you who prefer using the old version, you can find it in the SVN at branches/monolith or trunk revision 96.

__January 4th 2010__

libtheoraplayer 1.0 RC1 has just been released, once 1.0 is released, I'll make a wrapper for ogre as promised.

have a look at [http://libtheoraplayer.sf.net] . You'll find the 1.0 RC1 SDK with five compiled demo programs to wet your appetite ;) 

__December 24th 2009__
I recently began working on libtheoraplayer (see previous news for more details) and have already made significant improvements:
* YUV -> RGB conversion is now twice as fast!
* smooth video restart
* added support for more conversions (RGB,RGBA,ARGB,GREY,GREY3...)
* etc

the new project is hosted on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libtheoraplayer/

Further library news and updates will be anounced on that project's website, while the ogrevideo project will become an Ogre wrapper for libtheoraplayer once version 1.0 is finished.
