Microsoft samples Many thanks. How google didn't point me to those I don't know. I'm on latest Delphi too.

Thanks for your response. I appreciate commercial obligations. A basic player example would be very valuable as a reference so I hope you (or someone else) is able to help out. I am not confident about debugging the player examples as they stand. 10+ years experience with DSPack is not helping me here! I've even tried to track down the Microsoft CPP player but can't get hold of downloadable source or a working binary. You mention MfMethods.pas: I had to typecast conditional expressions involving...

Good job Ciaran Questions: 1) Do you intend to add the Samples and Additional folder? The later has the MfPlayerClass.pas used in two of the examples. 2) Is there any reason to go with the Dx variants of DirectX instead of the Delphi (Winapi) versions? Just curious if they are more reliable. There are some significant diferences between the two. 3) Do you have a working sample video player? I'm having mixed results with the supplied versions: some videos working and others not, getting an AV on load...

VMR9 provides IVMVRMixerControl9.SetAlpha as a way to set the 'brightness' of the primary video channel. I have not found a way to do this with EVR. The only option I've found is to set the alpha blending of the whole form, similar to the Transparency unit in the demo. NB I am not referring to any overlayed bitmaps (substreams), but the video (reference stream) itself. In simple terms I'm wanting to provide a fade in/out effect on playback. Any suggestions appreciated.

+1 for git (preferred) or svn. As a minimum, is there a download with all code (including patches)? TIA
