      If I want to play videos from within a program (I don't care much about format), should I use Theora or an mp4 library (any recommendations?) We used Bink in The Witness, but I am looking for something I can redistribute for free.

      WebM is free, so you could use a combination of libwebm, libvpx, libogg, and libvorbis.

      One of the main reasons Bink is still in business is because there never seems to be an answer to this question.

      It is kind of crazy given how many people in the world want to watch videos.

      Like, can someone just make a video format that is a regular file format like any other file format? That isn't broken into separate transport file streaming chunk opaque flibflobber formats? We all know what a video is, we all know how it behaves, just make one god damn thing.

      It's not the format that's the problem, it's the libraries. The format is complicated because the quantity of data is large - large by 1995 standards, but we also have tons of other networking standards similarly restricted. And yes, video formats are networking standard. (MPEG)

      I disagree with this 100%. It has nothing to do with quantity of data. Seehttps://twitter.com/Jonathan_Blow/status/1131780653639491585 …

      Because compression is easy to encapsulate and hide in code. You would be able to use video formats without knowing or caring what the compression was. If video formats were usable. Which they aren't. The biggest culprits in terms of complication are...
