playing AVI's in a game

computer_guy · 2003-06-02T09:42:29

How would I go about playing AVIs in my 2d game. It is written in C++ and uses directX 8.1 and DirectDraw7 for the graphics. Could someone show me where I could find a tutorial or some code or something? Thanks in advance.

add (DXSDK)\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses to the include path.

also you need to build strmbase.lib and strmbasd.lib from the .dsw/sln file in that same directory. Then put those libs somewhere in the lib path.

But if you didn't already know this then that means you haven't read the docs. Normally with DX you might be able to do this, but with DirectShow thats IMPOSSIBLE.

And no If you're in directdraw exclusive mode there is no easier way.
Sorry.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the include you need is streams.h
