Movie Library - Additional Functionality
Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2011 9:51 pm
Hi,
It would be really nice if we could get additional functionality to the Movie library.
Currently you can only really play a movie, pause it, resume it, or stop it.
I have been unable to create a working Frame Step function using my (limited) knowledge, and it would be really nice to have this and other features. The movie library uses DirectShow right? It would be nice to be able to choose which Renderer you want to use as well, get some Fast Forward /Reverse functions, etc.
There is Inc's DirectShow wrapper but that is just too advanced for me.. I get lost / discouraged trying to make sense of stuff like the DirectShow and AVIFILE API's, although I do try my best. And I really don't like resorting to "Gimme teh codez" requests as that's not very nice.
It would be great to hear that there are updates / improvements planned for the Movie Library in the near future.
edit: I got a Paused Movie to frame step using an AVI file (HuffYUV/YV12 codec) but it doesn't seem to want to cooperate with Avisynth scripts (which should be frame served as AVI), nor DirectShow inputs like MKV files, etc..
