How do I view a jpg without using Image.FromStream
-
Hey Does anyone know how to view a jpg stored in a stream on a control such as a picturebox without having to first convert it to a BITMAP using Image.FromStream? Thanx

why would one want that? two ways: 1. save the stream to a file, then use
Image.FromFileorPictureBox.Location2. create your own JPEG decoder (the inverse of this[^], i.e. implementImage.FromStreamyourself. It doesn't make much sense to me. :)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles]

Maybe I was a bit vague. I am recieving a stream of jpegs from a number of cameras. I want to show these on screen and I was wondering if there was a way of doing this without having to first uncompress the jpg using Image.FromStream as this is a slow process.

when an image is visible on the display, you see individual pixels, hence it has been decompressed somehow somewhere. There is no way around that assuming a standard PC system is used. The only thing you could consider is creating your own JPEG decoder trading quality for speed; however you are likely to discover loosing quality is easier than gaining speed. :)
