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.
