[vlc-devel] Any idea to render video to a gdk_window without xwindow?

[David Chan]

Hi Remi,

The problem is that i have to use GTK+/directFB to save storage than GTK+/X.
Cause I have only 64MB flash.
And no video card at all.  I'm building something like bus video system.
only part of the screen is used to display video. But I have a lot feature,
then I will need GTK+ to build widgets.Maybe I have to implement a plugin to
do this, horrible.
