Hi,

I need to display videos streams (25 to 50Hz, 640x480) in my application.
I derived a class from a QWidget where I overloaded the paintEvent method for displaying the images (painter.drawImage()) but it is very slow.
I'm not sure of the reason of the slowness since I have a poor 2GHz, 736Mo on winxp computer, and a basic SiS650 gfx card.

Wil it be faster if I use QGraphicsScene/Item? Furthermore I don't have any skills in OpenGL things, so will it be hard to implement if it is the only way out?

Thanks in advance.

ps :for information, I use ffmpeg (libavcodec/libavformat) to decode video streams.

See VideoPlayer (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/phonon-videoplayer.html) widget.

Hello lyuts,

Thank you for your answer, but I need to perform some image processing, thus I can't use Phonon...

I don't know what kind of image processing you need to do and what it depends on, but, what if you put image processing logic into ffmpeg's plugin?

Yes, actually this is what I do.
But with the solution you proposed, it implies to use Phonon (instead of ffmpeg), which does not handle video treatments for now.
