Playing Video with MinGW and SDL

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone could clarify the best way to display mpeg video with SDL in MinGW.

After scouring the internet it seems there is not a lot of information regarding this subject (or at least not up to date) and libraries that are available for this purpose.

Any help/ poke in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rob.

I'm confused why you'd try, since you certainly don't need MinGW to build SDL programs in Windows. SDL-using programs build on almost anything if the code is written portably.

I'd try using Bloodshed Dev C++ as an IDE, and build SMPEG + your program inside it, linking to SDL from libsdl.org
