WMP in SDL Jamesonq 6/1/2007 1:50:16 PM I want to be able to show videos in a window created by SDL. What method would be easiest to get this working? I was able to get mp3s to play very easily.. but I don't know how to get the video in to SDL, or if it's even possible.

Write a video renderer for DirectShow that uses your SDL window and create a DirectShow playback graph for your video using the your renderer. Or extract the uncompressed video from the playback graph (or from whatever other decoding framework you may want to use) and draw the frames yourself using SDL. -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm

Re: WMP in SDL Jamesonq 6/1/2007 5:05:06 PM Thanks for your response. How would I go about learning how to create the video renderer? I'm new to DirectShow.

The DirectShow SDK is part of the Platform/Windows SDK amd contains background informations amd tutorials on filter development. Among the samples you will also find a video renderer. -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm
