[RESOLVED] Directx 9.0 w/VB.NET video mpeg in window

[stephen weber]

Hi

I want to use DirectX 9.0c with VB.net 2006 to load a video mpeg and have it displayed in a regular window.

I have code that will play any mp3. And it does play the sound from a video mpeg. But I haven't figured out how to create (?) a video window to display the video.

Imports microsoft.directx.AudioVideoPlayback
Imports Microsoft.DirectX
Public Class Form1
  Dim carrot As Audio = Nothing
  
  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 
    carrot = Audio.FromFile("c:\funny.mpeg")
 carrot.play()
  End Sub   
End Class

The newest version claims to have integrated directx.directshow.dll into the platform. But I have to have the AudioVideoPlayback.dll referenced.

I suspect that I need to do something like

Dim display as IVideoWindow

But I am not using it correctly...

Sorry you could have had easy points.

I missed the obvious. The documentation is just about zero. In fact it lead me to believe that the audio method was correct as its help talked of opening a video window. But I should have looked more clearly. USE VIDEO

Imports microsoft.directx.AudioVideoPlayback
Imports Microsoft.DirectX
Public Class Form1 
  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    Dim carrot As Video
    carrot = Video.FromFile("c:\funny.mpeg")
    carrot.Owner = Me
    carrot.Play()
  End Sub
 
 
End Class
