Hi,

If you're only targetting Windows Mobile 5+, perhaps you can use DirectShow? Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any alternatives (especially when you need to target Symbian).

Perhaps you can create your own solution by loading and playing multiple jpeg files in sequence?

Hi edge,

Thanks for your reply! I hadn't though about using DirectShow, so I'll give it a try. Is support for video files playback a feature planned for future releases of edgelib?

Thanks again for your help,

Thanks for your reply Ryumaster. Since I'm taking final exams until Friday I didn't have time to properly sit down and read the DirectShow articles on the MSDN documentation but, if you're telling me that writing those filters is not that easy, I guess I'm gonna have a hard time making video decoding work :(

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Fortunately, video playback is not a critical feature for my game, but it would be nice to have it. I'll let you know if I make any progress on it.
