I want to add a real video codec plugin,can anybody help?

[xzou999]

When I use the vlc-0.8.6b playing the real file, I found that the sound appeared but video doesn't. Having read the source code, I found the demux module for real files and the audio codec module have been there, video codec module is lacked. So I have an idea that writing a video codec module myself.
And further, I found the audio codec module seems like writing based on a real audio decode file in Mplayer.Now I am reading the Mplaer's real video decode file and trying to port it to VLC.
Can anybody give me some advices?

Well, MPlayer and Xine are using a loader to load win32 dlls. This loader then can be used to load dmo and dshow dlls.
However, in VLC, only the loader and the dmo part has been ported, but not the dshow part.
So, I would take a look at dmo and dshow in mplayer and dmo in VLC.

Good Luck mate! it will make VLC better in the media player rankings....

It may a bit long process though... it may take about 6-9 hours of concentration, but what are people ment for? Humans are better at handling load than computers, man only uses 4% of his brain. 100% would make us ditch our PCs.
