I am looking for a way to play embedded videos using either Windows Media Player, or DirectX. I have tried using the url option with WMP, but can only play files off the HDD. I am running into the same problem using DirectX, can only play videos from the HDD. I have added videos (*.wmv) to the project and set them to embedded resource. How can I then access and play them?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by embedded?
Forgive me if my terms are not correct. In the solution explorer, I right-click and select 'add', then 'existing item'. I then select the added video (*.wmv) and for it's build action property, I set it to 'embedded resource'. I have found many explanations on how to do this with pictures and text, even audio, but nothing for video.
I am trying to write a program that contains multiple videos. So that the user can not distribute them or access them without letting me know, I currently have them zipped up with a password. This is slow because I have to extract them to a temp file to play them in an embedded WMP on another form. I am trying to find a way to access them from within my program to eliminate the wait of extracting.

I'll research this problem some myself. What version of the .Net framework are you using?
Thank you cnixuser.
Using Visual Studio 2008 and am writing in .NET 2.0. If need be, I can switch to .NET 3.0 or 3.5.
Maybe this is an alternative to embedding the files... Is there a way to encrypt a file (video) and have the program be able to read it without having to decrypt the file to a temp location? I know that Windows can encrypt files, making it that only that user can access/run them. Is there a way that I can make it so that my program is the only program that can have access to the files?

Hi all,
I have some video files embedded in html files included in a chm file.
I am trying to invoke this chm file through a VB .NET application. The
chm file opens when I click on a button in the VB application but the
video doesn't play. Although the videos play perfectly if I execute the
chm file directly. Please let me know if anybody knows what is the
problem.
Thanks

Hello,
How do I play a DVD from a website? I am starting with zero knowledge
of media but have HTML Experience.
I found out that Windows Media Player won't play the DVD. Do I suggest
everyone download Real Player for free? or can I put a realplayer plug
in on the server? Is it possible to check if they have DVD playing
software and use that. The below mentioned is all I have and of course
it is not working, that is why I am here.

When the user chooses an AV file to play, based upon the type of file,

I want to play Audio/Video in my C# application(standlalone, not web

by the end user, which I have no control.
My question is -- which is the best approach to add multimedia capability to
my c# application, to support most possible formats, and make it easiest for
the end user(e.g. does not need convert before play it)?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
