Hi, We are creating a horror action adventure game and the gameplay is almost finished. But now we want to add movies to spice up the experience and that's why we added support for DirectShow. This implementation succeeded and the movie plays on a Direct3D Texture. No problem there. The bigger problem is that there are a lot of interruptions now and then. Every time the cpu load is a little higher, the movie skips frames. I know that this is due to the fact that DShow uses lower thread priority for its decoder threads (and probably for all the other threads too) but in my case, I don't want them to have lower priority. I want them to give all the frames they got. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Or do I need to stop trying to use DShow for in-game movies? What's the suggestion then? Cheers, Dirk.
