DX7 and avi

[drewski]

Is there a way I can get DX7 to play *.avi movie files?

Did I stump you all?

yes there is a way. You need DirectMedia, which is not really possible easy to do from VB luckily someone wrote a dll that makes it possible to do it from VB.
It has some disadvantages, because you can't really control it that well, but you can play!

Well I got to search for that again, but I think I will find it either on my harddisk or my links.
Just have a little patience with me.

allright I found the file
the link would have been better, because I believe that he updated it, to make it more controlable, but that is all I got!

Here you go: (oh some of the documentation is in german in case you need help I can help you)

Thanks man. I'll check it out right now.

It's the Demo that comes with DirectX8, it play avi, mp3 and a bunch of others files.

Even if the avi si compress with an other codec (example divx) it will work! (I've try it with divx but not with others codec)

I hope this sample will help you!

Seems like my information is a little old. (due to my slow internet connection)
