Digital Video Player

Select the digital video player part to play digital video using files.

These files can contain both video and audio data or just video data. The video can either be played in a separate window on the desktop or imbedded in an existing window like a dialog.

Digital video can come in different formats. Look at your operating system multimedia documentation to see what multimedia input/output (MMIO) procedures are supported. For example, OS/2 Warp supports:

Audio/Video Interleaved (AVI)
This is referred to as software motion video because no specific hardware is required to play the video.

MPEG
This is video that requires hardware to be played. For example, you can use the ReelMagic adapter to play MPEG files.

FLC and FLI
These files are animation files.
