I am using guiTheoraCtrl, but the file doesn't play.
Steps I followed:
->Created a single avi using flash cs4.
->Converted to ogg using vlc (ffmpeg converts to ogv)
-> Tried to play, no luck.

I just popped in the control inside a gui, and browse for the ogg file in the gui editor.
When the game executes, canvas.pushDialog("guiName") is called. It doesn't even play it when I browse and select the file inside the editor.

Kevin, I would but there's no code and no error messages.I just popped in the control inside a gui, and browse for the ogg file in the gui editor.

Did you remember to call:MyVideo.setFile("game/data/video/FileName.ogg");This assumes you created your theora control like so in a gui file:new GuiTheoraCtrl(MyVideo) {
profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
horizSizing = "relative";
vertSizing = "relative";
position = "0 0";
extent = "1024 768";
minExtent = "8 2";
visible = "1";
done = "0";
stopOnSleep = "1";
backgroundColor = "0 0 0 255";
};

think the codec is at fault...it's theora+vorbis right? oh also can i know, what software do you use for creating the avi?

well if theoraFile is defined in the gui, setfile is not needed...but i also tried it your way @patrick, i.e. removed theoraFile path from the gui profile and used setFile...still doesn't play...think the codec is at fault...it's theora+vorbis right? oh also can i know, what software do you use for creating the avi?
new GuiTheoraCtrl(videoScreen) {
canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
isContainer = "0";
Profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
HorizSizing = "relative";
VertSizing = "relative";
Position = "0 0";
Extent = "800 600";
MinExtent = "8 2";
canSave = "1";
Visible = "1";
hovertime = "1000";
theoraFile = "~/data/images/Splash/video.ogg";
done = "1";
stopOnSleep = "0";
backgroundColor = "0 0 0 255";
};

Ya, odd. ffmpeg crashes for me during conversion. I use VLC player to convert.
