Would I be able to put a video into Doom?

[Murderous Owl]

I was just curious if I were to take a 15 second video into a gif, then convert that gif into images, and then took the audio file from the video, would I be able to put it into a Doom map as an Easter egg?

[JadingTsunami]

Yes. Is this for vanilla?

No its for GZdoom

[Hebonky]

Yeah, you can. I don't know how, but you can

[JadingTsunami]

Ok. I'll let someone else answer then as there's probably a GZDoom-specific way that would be optimal.

If you can make a thing's active sound the audio for the clip then you can shred the video into different pictures as you said and turn it into an animated texture.

WOOO 3 did it, so it's possible.

Ok so only about 30 MB dedicated to this one easter egg, that's reasonable :)

Dont do i via textures...if you're targetting gzdoom, it knows at least 3 video formats...

I made one once - it needs to be 256 colour max. and need to be converted to IVF format using ffmpeg and command(video file needs to be in the same folder as ffmpeg):

 

ffmpeg -i inputfile.mp4 outputfile.ivf

 

Then you need to extract audio into a separate file, as the video will be mute, and put them in the same folder with the same name. And then add the section to MAPINFO: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Cutscene_MAPINFO_properties

And they can't be played in the map, only as intro, outro and in-between levels/clusters, AFAIK.
