hi! i have one simple question: how can i play a full screen video (*.avi), for example an intro-movie. iam using ms visual c++ and directX 7.0! is there a simple command? (like play_video (filename, full_screen,...), or something??) do i have to use direct-show? how to use it? thanks in advance... woody

I don''t think you have to use DirectShow, but it''s pretty easy to play a movie with it. Get Dx8, they released DirectShow8 which is pretty nice and fairly easy to use.

Takes like 6 lines of code to play an avi or mpg or mp3.
