Thanks for compiling it
Now how exactly do you use the moviecompile.exe ?

Otherwise, if you enjoy more control over the ffmpeg options, make a folder for all your frames. Then compile the helper.c program and copy the executable into your folder.

Change into your directory and run the following command on the command line:

ffmpeg -i /path/to/movie -s qvga -an -r 15 frame-%05d.jpg

This will spit out a whole lot of files. When it finishes, run the moviecompile program and it will produce a file. Copy this to your calculator along with the main program and run it. Make sure the extension ends in .nmp.tns.

Do we put the video in the "folder for all your frames" or do we put frames in it ?
Which format is supported ?
What does "Change into your directory" mean ? (I am French)

edit: I didn't understand anything to ffmpeg -.-°
Would it be possible to have a method with SUPER, for example ? It can convert a video into a sequence of JPG images, with 15 fps, etc, which is what you use according to what I understood

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy in the past week

So basically, here's an update on the situation so far:

The movie player work but it lags... Like a lot. There's two ways out - optimize the compression routines or decode ahead of time somehow and cache the frames.

Both ways, it'll take some time. I'm looking into both options right now. When we get that sorted, we can start working on stuff like fast forward and rewinding.

The other thing on the TODO list is support for the older calculators. This might come a bit later though seeing as I don't have an old Nspire to test with and the emulator image is lost somewhere on my hard drive.

Basically, top priority right now is optimizing the damn thing. Sound 'may' be a possibility through the serial port but given how annoying it is to make a dock connector, I doubt it will be feasible any time soon.

Oh and about the video converting thing, I'll look into a way to make that easier. I'm a Mac/*nix user so most of the instructions were for *nix users.

Hey tangrs I was wondering how to convert a movie for this. I already have the moviecompile.exe file, but I don't really have a clue how to compile everything in the beginning or what you meant when you said," Go into the source code and change the movie filename. Change into the directory and run make and it should compile everything."

also does anyone know how to do this using super?

Sorry to keep bumping this topic but I don't manage to convert videos.
Using ffmpeg, I can get the frames (named frame-00001.jpg to frame-03032.jpg) but running the moviecompile program does nothing

Nevermind about my previous post. I finally was able to make it work. So many movies so little memory. I better get started.

I'm actually working on creating a text file on how I did it. When it's done, I'm hoping others will be able use it and achieve the same results. I'll try to get it posted this weekend. Wait, how would you us ffmpeg through command prompt?
