Hello,

Many games, play a video (to demonstrate game play, etc) in the starting of game. But I think SDL does not provide any direct API for that.
I did some google and found out that developers are using smpeg, theora etc with SDL for this feature.
Its an overhead for the game developers to understand a new library, just to play a video.
I think there should be APIs for Playing video.
