Frame capture methods Charles Tam 6/1/2007 12:58:02 AM I would like to capture video frames using the WM Player SDK (Player Object). Is it possible? If not, what are my alternatives?

RE: Frame capture methods Charles Tam 6/1/2007 1:54:00 AM For example, I'm using C++ IWMPPlayer4, is there a way to capture the current displayed frame.

If you got only a black Square at that place where you have WMP, than you have to set the property of your VideoCard to "Overlay off" and/or "Hardward Accelerator" to none. while PrintScreen will give you the hole Desktop you have to write something that use WMP Size only. WMP SDK itself have no Methode so you have to do : 1.) set focus on WMP Object 2.) create a new Bitmap Object 3.) GraBitBlt WMP content into Bitmap Object 4.) save Bitmap attached Xbase++ Code might give you some Idee *** snip *** .... aSize := ::oWMP:currentsize() // 1st set focus to player setAppFocus( ::oWMP ) // make snapshot WMP2Bitmap( ::oWMP, { 0, 0, aSize[1],aSize[2] } ) ....

Re: Frame capture methods Charles Tam 6/1/2007 5:29:00 AM I would like to capture the video frames into a CBitmap object for processing. The process requires a CBitmap.
