This problem can also be solved on OSX by integrating Eric Wing's ImageIO plugin to handle static images. I have the code; I just need to find time to integrate the plugin. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to devote to OSG and my OSG-based application lately. As far as using our standard, cross-platform image plugins on OSX, that works too. I used to do that when the Quicktime plugin didn't handle transparency very well. > > The first step in this process has to be getting the ffmpeg up and > running with video and audio across all platforms, then to start > looking at a set of test video/features that we can use a unit tests > that we measure the plugin against. I think that the ffmpeg plugin, once we determine if it will work well enough for our purposes, combined with the ImageIO plugin, will be able to replace the old Quicktime plugin, providing (at last) a 64-bit path for OSG-based apps on OSX. -Eric _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
