Are there any API's for playing videos? Let's say I already have an mpeg codec, what can I use in displaying the decompressed frames?
There's a multimedia playback framework in Palm OS Cobalt 6.x, but not in Palm OS Garnet 5.x. Also, some PalmOne devices have a codec manager that handles some media types -- that's documented in the PalmOne SDK from pluggedin.palmone.com.
There are already lots of media players for Palm, so I was wondering how they do it. Thanks in advance!
They all implement their own movie playing codecs, usually at a pretty low level.
