Video module?

[Mickel Grönroos]

Hi!

Is anybody aware of some good Python module for playing video (mpeg-2,
mov, avi or similar)? I looked at pygame.movie, but it does not seem
stable enough for my purposes. I have also tried using Windows Media
Player with COM, but that is cumbersome. The module must work on Windows
(and preferably on Linux as well). Basically, what I need to be able to
do is play a selected interval of the movie and if possible also rip
the sound track from the movie file as a WAV file.

Any ideas anybody?

Cheers,

Mickel Grönroos

On windows, those are the only two options I know of - pygame or
activex/com. On mac, you have quicktime, too.
Or you could use jython and java with the java media framework or qtjava.
