All is handled by the codec, so you can't for now get the output image (or may be by tricking the stuff and get the window content). I would like to allow decoding on any surfaces (mainly for DirectX use) but it's still on my TODO list..

Would be good stuff to have more control of a movie (Avi).

Been strugling some days now with MCI commands instead of the PB movie lib. Still havn't been able to grap a still frame.

Below I'm trying to put a movie to my own window. Seems to work, but it is still playing the movie in some bizaar hidden window.

food is ready, gotta go

Code: Select all

*Result = GlobalAlloc_(#GMEM_FIXED, 256)
ToDo$ = "open raw\anim\wizwalkright.avi alias anim parent " + strU(windowid(),#LONG) + " Style child"
If MciSendString_(ToDo$,*result,256,0)=0
  mciSendString_("put anim window at 0 0 48 48 wait", *result, 256, 0)
EndIf

How/Where do I get the address to the MCI window content?
