   Curious about animation...
  I was just wondering why is it that we can''t call an AVI file like we call a sound file using OpenGL. I mean, without using Win32 coz I know that''s possible. Why is it that we can''t call the AVI file using simple C++?Can anyone help me with my curiousity? 
  What do you mean by "call an AVI file"?C++ is a programming language. It is not Flash, which is a presentation technology. Consequently, to achieve various presentation effects, you require code that performs the necessary sub-tasks. OpenGL is a collection of such code geared toward 3D graphics. What does that have to do with AVIs?[Edit: Typo.]   [edited by - Oluseyi on February 4, 2004 8:37:04 PM];  There are libraries for working with AVIs, most notably DirectShow. You might want to try that.Other than that, Oluseyi has it pretty well covered.
