    Hy, I've got a bigger question! I'm on, programming my first game in DirectX 7. Now my question, i've created a cool Intro for my game, but how, do I implement my movie in my game, as an intro??? Please, help me! Can sb. post an example?? (source-code?). PS: I'm programming in Win32.(fullscreen) THX

    1. Use DirectShow 2. Write your own avi decompression functions (a lot harder) Also, i'd advise using DX8 - its a lot easier to use. But that would also mean changing your name Silly [:p] HTH, Steve

    As far as I remember GameDev.net just had an article about DirectShow. Check it out

    As for source code: 1. Unless really necessary, get the DX8 SDK (DX7 apps will still work fine with it) - DirectShow is more integrated in DX8, and there is sample source code in the SDK which will play the movie types you desire. 2. If you really must use DX7, then get the DirectX Media SDK - this is where DirectShow used to live - it also has sample source code for playing back movies.
