Is it possible to show 30 "fps" (Size = 704x576x32) using standard U++ widgets?
"Frames" are the jpeg images saved in a BIG file consequentially (one after other without gaps).

Hi Wlad,
Theoretically yes. Not sure how much standard do you need the widgets to be, but a simple custom control using standard U++ capabilities gives about 40fps for the resolution you asked about on my machine (intel atom netbook, no high performance system  ). The code can be something like this: class MyAnim: public Ctrl{
public:
Image img;
typedef win CLASSNAME;
void Paint(Draw& w){
SetSurface(w,0,0,704,576,img);
}
win(){
//some initialization here
SetTimeCallback(-1,THISBACK(Next));
}
void Next(){
img = LoadNextFrame(); //you'd have to implement this one, but it should be simple
Refresh();Sync();
}
};
Note that the code is not complete, it's purpose was only to benchmark the speed. It plays as fast as it can; to achieve a given frame rate, you would have to control that better. The SetTimeCallback solution is simple, but probably not optimal. Also it produces some flicker, you would probably have to add bit more logic to avoid that.

This could be a problem. Decoding jpeg is not very fast. With some random 704x576 images I got about 50ms to load and decode. That limits the performance a lot (for comparison SetSurface() in above code takes only about 10ms), unless you are able to get the images buffered in memory before playing (or doing it in second thread, while playing). That should be easy for some reasonably low number of frames, but quite challenging for long animations.
Are you trying to play a movie or some kind of animation? I would recommend you to experiment with other image formats if you can, they might cheaper decoding. For GIF or multipage TIFF, you could use RasterPlayer, but the price to pay there would be probably a quality.
Best regards,
Honza

Have a look at the forum and search for SDLCtrl and video player. Koldo is working on it currently and I believe it is just about to be finished. It uses SDL for displaying video and ffmpg for decoding, all encapsulated into U++ Ctrl. It should be capable to play the common video formats, such as M-JPEG. Don't hesitate to ask Koldo directly for further info
