AVI Program Start

Check where in your avi player there could be a break that stops the avi player, if there is none, check your loader ...

More info could be given ... if we have the source

hwndMovie = MCIWndCreate(hWnd, hInstance, WS_CHILD |WS_VISIBLE | MCIWNDF_NOOPEN | MCIWNDF_NOPLAYBAR | MCIWNDF_NOAUTOSIZEMOVIE | MCIWNDF_NOERRORDLG | MCIWNDF_NOTIFYSIZE | MCIWNDF_NOMENU, "test.avi");

well, there''s my wonderful one line of code that i have (grabbed it from the msdn library) and when i cut out the rest of my program (so that it won''t continue past the movie) it still only shows the first frame. Although, it is there until i hit escape, so i think i''m getting there, i just need a play command...

Also, in the WinProc i added a few lines in the hope that maybe i might get lucky and get it working...

case WM_PAINT:
{
BeginPaint(hWnd, &ps);
EndPaint(hWnd, &ps);
return 0;
}

case MCIWNDM_NOTIFYSIZE:
{
/* adjust to size of the movie window */
GetWindowRect(hwndMovie, &rc);
AdjustWindowRect(&rc, GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE), TRUE);
SetWindowPos(hWnd, NULL, 0, 0, rc.right - rc.left, rc.bottom - rc.top,
SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOMOVE);
return 0;
}

not to sure how those will turn out......

there is a wonderful SDK called Digital Sound & Video.. I love it, check out digitalsv.com

I''m using the winmm library.... trying to get the MCI bit to play the thing, but it doesn''t want to autoplay. Can anyone give me some help as to how I can get an AVI to autoplay at the beginning of my program?

Thanks.

Didn''t you forget to update the video at everyframe?

Hi there...
I''m BassX...

Try this out...Strylinys

Add vfw32.lib to project
#include

hWndMovie = MCIWndCreate(hWnd, hInstance, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | MCIWNDF_NOOPEN | MCIWNDF_NOPLAYBAR | MCIWNDF_NOERRORDLG | MCIWNDF_NOTIFYSIZE | MCIWNDF_NOMENU, "test.avi");
MCIWndHome(hWndMovie);
MCIWndPlay(hWndMovie);

And to STOP:

MCIWndClose(hWndMovie);
MCIWndDestroy(hWndMovie);

Try to edit VFW.H an look at the functions...You can maximize, resize, stop, play, repeat, etc...
...It works with me...
Good luck!!!

Thanks a lot, BassX. Had to fiddle around a bit to find the GetPosition and GetEnd funcitons to check if it was done playing, but I got it.
