Oops, the routines are all in the test files in CVS. You don't need
videoPlay and play_file_video. I just cut that out of the test_video.c
file.
Anyway, you need an I-frame (i.e. MPEG1 or 2 encoded single
frame) not a JPG. So you have to go through the same conversion
procedure you described. I also used an MPEG encoder to create I-frames
from PNM. Maybe someone knows a program that can do a faster
conversion from jpeg.
