Video question

Suppose I wanted to write software which would put together a show by
segmenting together some existing video clips, repeating some of them over
and over, and either display the show, or even output it as a video file.

How much help can C# and .NET give me with this? How much of the
infrastructure is in place?

Windows Movie Maker is done with DirectSHOW. It is better C++ with
DirectShow but with C# you can make a lot of things..

Actually, look for DirectShowLib (DirectShow.NET ). It's a source forge
project which has brought over a good number of the direct show interfaces.
It makes using Direct Show extremely easy in C#.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. If I do the project, I certainly don't mind coding parts of it in
C++ as needed. I much prefer C# or Delphi for the user interface and
overall organization.

Can DirectShow burn a video file to a regular video DVD for playback in an
ordinary DVD player?
Nov 17 '05 #5
Michael,

The only way I can think that it would be able to do this would be to
plug a renderer to the end of a filter graph that would do this. However, I
don't think it is a good idea, as you would have to do a lot of conversion
into the two tracks for the DVD, and then burn it (and your data rate would
not be high enough, for sure).

You are better off getting some sort of third party software for this.
I think Windows has a unified interface for this, but I don't know if it
will handle the formatting of the DVD video tracks.

Is there a Linux PHP module so that I can process web cam video with Linux PHP from multiple USB ports?

Question, can I see an event in Javascript that tells me a video starts playing using the <embed src="file.wmv>. I stream the video, but there is a wait time and wanted to pop up a message telling the user it is buffering until the video actually begins to play in the browser. Thanks for any help! JJ

Does anyone know how to recognise the image capture signal from a medical scope such as a video colonoscope? I've got video streaming from the scope to the computer but want my app to recognise when the scopes image capture button is pressed, rather than have to capture the image by pressing a button in my app. Thanks in advance

I did a website for a friend's company where they wanted a 'downloads' section similar to standard file sharing you see all over the place. Everything works great except for video. I know there are codecs involved, however, if i create a video (I've tried mpg, avi, wma so far) I can watch it on my pc from disk just fine. Since my pc is also my test environment, I try to open the same video from the test site and I get the standard 'Can't...
