Videos in Turing

I'm doing a project for a project in computer sciences and I was wondering how you can import real life video clips and have them show when you run the program. I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out out. HELP!!

How long are the videos?
You can use softwares to convert them into .gif format and then you can go in the tutorial section and check on how to play .gif files in turing.
As for the videos i dont know if you can embed a media player and play them in turing. Or you can do a cheap way, embed the video in an html file and launch the file using turing Laughing

Thats pretty cheap tho, you might get a 60 percent for that lol

Turing:

Sys.Exec("movie_file.mov/mpg/avi")

Will open the assosiated application with the file type (Quicktime/media player/etc) and load the file.

I thought of that too but isnt that gonna launch the default media player and the media player will play it?

i forgot the videos will be less than 30 seconds and probably less than 20 seconds. There just short sport video clips.

Use pm's for your own 'personal' questions...

If you want to have a good framerate, even 30 seconds is a lot of pictures, it could take some time to make that .gif.
