Adding video playback to an application

In this chapter, you learn how to add video playback to an application.

As you have seen in the previous chapters, you can create some powerful applications with just a few parts. One thing that hasn't been shown yet is one of the most common forms of media to date--video. "A picture is worth a thousands words" couldn't be more true in today's ever changing world.

The video support in VisualAge is only limited to whatever your operating system supports. If you are running OS/2 Warp, you can play AVI files recorded with different compressions, FLC and FLI animation files, and MPEG files.
