Opengl video texture

Question

I'm developing an opengl application in C++ on Windows using Visual Studio 10. Currently I use a static texture on a cube but I would like to integrate a video texture.

Do you know which library I can use to open and decrypt video ?

Answer 1

Have a look at ffmpeg/libavformat/libavcodec or gstreamer. Threy're pretty straigtforward to use. You should use glTexSubImage2D for updating the texture date (using this doesn't do a full texture reinitialization).
