(cross posted from the managed forum, but this post is for video *and* managed topics) Hi, we all know how appaling the AudioVideoPlayer is that comes with mdx (now it's even dropped?). But I've made a stab at a new one. Does anyone have any interest in helping out? I've done the basics, probably on par with the AVP we have right now. Features are/will be: * Renderless or windowed (enum) * Crossfading videos (function) * Bitmap overlays (property) * YUV mixing mode, and other goodies * Advanced filter selection control * Moving the video to other hwnd's during playback It's opensource, but no licence has been attached yet. I will be happy to discuss this, should any existing entities want to be compatible with the license. I'm using C# and DirectShowLib 2.0. drep
