Dear avifile-developers,
we develop a commercial (closed source) 3D-application parallel for
Linux and Windows. One of its features is the mapping of an AVI to
polygons. Its not a key feature, but it looks nice. For Windows it was
no problem to implement it, using the AVIStream-function-family of the
Windows SDK.
But, my job is to do it for Linux. In the state of development i have
used the avifile library, which easily works. Now, we cannot
distribute our AVI-reader-plugin, as avifile stands under the GPL,
which forbid it, even linked as an optional plugin, as i have read
recently.
So, my question is: do you see a possibility to implement this sort of
AVI-support for Linux in a simple way. Is there a free or commercial
library which i can use to do something like that:
- Open an AVI-file
- Test if it can be read
- Get frame number <something> as a bitmap
- Get frame number <something> as a bitmap
- Get frame number <something> as a bitmap
...
- Close the AVI-file
I hope you can, and will help me, although i am developping a commercial
product. It would be a pity, if i had to arrive at the conclusion that
the AVI-support is not possible in the Linux-version of our product.
greetings, Torsten Blank
