Viewing AVI File As Splash Screen
-
Our company wants to use an AVI file as the splash screen for our new application. I cannot get the CAnimateCtrl to show the AVI file. I even tried decompressing the AVI file - making it a whopping 30 megabytes - but that didn't work either. What are my options at this point? Do I need a third party control? Do I need to write a custom viewer from the ancient AVIView source code in MSDN? Do I need to somehow scramble something together from the bizarre MCI API?

Check out my animation control at http://www.codeguru.com/multimedia/AviCtrl.shtml (I really should post this here some day...) HTH, Jens
