DirectX Movies?
Author
I was wondering im trying to find a way to use DirectX 7 to load a basic AVI or MPG movie clip into a surface or somthing like u see those cool animations in some games? where can i find ex of this/
your best bet is to download direct x 8.0. The direct show component in directX 8.0 writes to direct draw 7 surfaces. This would provide you with the ability to render avi''s and the like to the screen.

Erm lets think about that I Update now.. then Suddenly a few more months i hear OMFG new DX verison is out aand i download that then i hafta update again? I mean seriously ill be gald to update it somone can show me a site with basic source for basic DDraw 8 not 3D but 2D type of programming on it cant find one though..
You still can use ddraw with directx8, dont be afraid. If your code is well organized it wont be so hard. it toke me 12 hours (of lazy work) to update my coustom ddraw, dxinput (the easier), dsound classes.

heheh, thouse are some classes they made to make things even easier (encapsulating the dxapi functions), it's was funny to see CDisplay and CSurface where very likely the ones I made my self.
