Video Files
Author
Hi everyone,
How do you play video files using Win32/DirectX? I know that there is the video for windows API, but every example I've found doesn't even compile so I'm having a hard time learning it. Do you know of any good examples/tutorials that work?
Are there any other ways to play a video (preferably .avi files, but others work if necessary)? These would be cutscenes and intro movies for my game.
I've also looked at the Playing AVI files with DirectX article here on gamedev.net, but that code didn't compile either.
Thanks
You mean this article?
You'll have to tell us in what way it fails to compile for us to be able to help you. What errors do you get?

Yes, that's the article.
These are the errors and warnings (some I can fix, others I can't):
Also, when I tried to use the already compiled application included with the program (before I tried compiling the code), a message box appeared saying "AVI Init Failed" on most of the avi files I tried and on the ones that did work, the picture never showed up and the audio was messed up.
It also uses DirectDraw, which I thought was no longer supported and very outdated.
These are the errors and warnings (some I can fix, others I can't):

It also uses DirectDraw, which I thought was no longer supported and very outdated.
Your project's character set is configured as Unicode. The code you entered is not Unicode. Either convert your code to use Unicode or convert the project's character set to Multi-Byte. The quickest solution would be to change the project settings. You are probably using the 2008 version of your compiler in which case go to Project->Properties->General and look around until you find the right setting. However at some point you should really consider switching to Unicode.
edit: That will probably fix some of the errors but not necessarily all. Also that article is literally over 10 years old. Was that the best one you could find? You might try the cutscene sample mentioned here as part of DirectShow. The sample page here also mentions a Texture3D9 Sample that Draws video on a Microsoft DirectX 9.0 texture surface. This would allow you to embed video directly into your game. Like on a computer monitor or something.

Thanks, that fixed a few of the errors. Unfortuantely, those were mostly the errors I knew how to fix.
This isn't my code, it's the code from the tutorial. I'm not copying it for use in my projects, I'm just trying to learn from it. Since it doesn't work, I figured it would probably be better to ask here on gamedev about playing video files.

Yeah, that article is pretty old, actually.
You can try one of the many DirectShow samples (look for "Playback" in the "Area" column). If you have specific problems with them, come back with details error messages and stuff and we'll see what we can do to help.
