On another, but related topic, porting libmpeg2 to the Nspire platform could be interesting. It was ported years ago to the comparable GP32 (133 MHz ARM processor), http://www.yaronet.com/posts.php?s=57680 .
libmpeg2 has a SDL video backend.

Porting libmpeg2 surely is interesting, but will it not require more std C syscalls to be added to Ndless ?
http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/PluginMpegplayer contains some useful information in the bottom links regarding libmpeg2, if anyone is interested in it :)

Actually, I decided a about two weeks ago to work on a batch script that would make everything easier. So far it installs MinGW, locates the desired movie, and converts it to the stream of pictures (frame 00001.jpg, frame 00002.jpg, etc). The user just has to provide input for the file locations when prompted. It will also contain ffmpeg when it is finished.

So how's the batch script going?

I feel like I want to smack myself. The script is great except for one thing: when it comes time to output the files, it is denied. I believe it is because it is attempting to output the files to the script. I have been looking on how to specify the file output location in ffmpeg. Also, I think I'm going to work back on the guide until I can get the script done. Frustratingly enough, I found out while testing out my script, which is over 40 lines, that it only really needs two lines :banghead:. Which is exactly why doing a guide just became so much easier.

EDIT: I know there are a few people who would like to try the Nspire Movie Player out ... And now you can! I have just finished the guide, so feel free to give it a shot. If anyone has any problems, comments, or suggestions, I am more than glad to hear them.

The zip file is attached below.
Due to the size restriction, I had to split the zip file into volumes. Must be opened using WinRar. Simply download all of the attachments to a folder, right click the zip file and click extract.

Great, I'll try this as soon as I get some free time :D

(Also, I read your pm some day I didn't have time to answer then forgot about it x.x Sorry)

edit: I managed to get a tns file but running it reboots the calc ??? The test.nmp.tns file runs fine however, so the problem must come from the file I generated (which takes 4.19 Mo if that helps)

It is not a problem. If you start having problems again, send me the text output from running the commands in Command Prompt and I'll see if I can find where you went wrong. Also, the file size depends on the movie. Some of my seven second clips were around 882 KB. So for a file size of 4.19 Mb, your movie should of been about 30 to 33 seconds long I'm guessing.

Of course it is, the video doesn't run. Launching it reboots the calc then does nothing :-\

When I said that, I was referring to:
(Also, I read your pm some day I didn't have time to answer then forgot about it x.x Sorry)
I forgot to kinda clarify what I was talking about. Like I said earlier, try it again just so you can copy all the text from command prompt. Then save it to Notepad or something, and pm me with the attachment.
Look on the bright side: At least you made it farther than last time.

Has anyone else had any luck or obstacles trying it?

pm me with the attachment.
I think that is not possible to pm attachements, so I give you an image of the answer of the command prompt here :)
The command prompt says that, and a tns file is created but running it crashes.

That is true :D

AHA! I have found the answer! :w00t: I think. Nope. I lost it. Anyways, you might want to change "MovieNameHere" to the actual name that you want the movie to be called. Also, try moving the folder location to your actual hard drive. I am also going to need a screenshot that has all of the output from both commands. Try to include everything listed from the time cmd is opened until the file creation including, the ffmpeg part. If it's to big, you could copy and pm the text as a message. Thanks. Oh and by the way, do you think I should make a guide for converting GIF's to movies? I have found a software that is simple and works pretty well.

I did it the first time but when I saw I failed, I made other tries without changing the name.

Also, try moving the folder location to your actual hard drive.
It is on my hard drive, the one called "F:\" ???

I am also going to need a screenshot that has all of the output from both commands.
It created all the frames so I guess the first step worked. Anyways, I'll make another try and send you the output when I have some time :)

Oh. I thought the F:\ drive was a flash drive.

Ok. No problem. Oh, and what about the gif idea?

Yeah, I saw on TI-Planet people who asked for a gif player on Nspire, so that would be cool if they could convert their gifs into videos then convert them for NspireMoviePlayer :)


Ok, I made another try and it still didn't work :-\
Here is the total output of the command prompt, in the spoiler.
