I may be missing something, so I'm making this a general question.
I need to do some multimedia work. Essentially display a movie image (or two
in one windw) plus some text and overlay text. For the overlays to work I'll
need to be able to identify the movie frame being shown (ideally via an
event).
I expect to use Windows Media Video 9 movies as a minimum, though Flash
support would also be nice, and Quicktime support nicer still.
The end devie will be semi-embedded, and run on XPe at least, though I'd
love to be able to compile onto the .NET CF and run under CE6.0.
I've been working with the Quartz library and a public domain managed code
wrapper for that library.
To the question - there must be a better way than this! Have I completely
missed some .NET class? Yes, I've messed with the Media Player DLL but that
just doesn't have the fine control of the Quartz functions .. but the Quartz
functions are not managed and the process of calling it from a .NET
environment is .. well .. kludgy.
Any help or advice appreciated.
