A typical BITMAP resource[^] in your app's .RC file looks something like IDB_BITMAP1 BITMAP "res\\bitmap1.bmp" where IDB_BITMAP1 is the identifier and the pathname of the bitmap file is in quotes. If you want VS to insert the code for you, you could add an 8-bit bitmap in the editor then replace the created BMP file with your 24-bit bitmap. Or edit the RC file by hand - it's a text file.

If you're experienced with DirectDraw (I personally am not) you can also use the VMR Renderless Playback Mode (Custom Allocator-Presenters)[^]. The alternative I chose was to make my own renderer filter so I had complete control over all the drawing. That certanly isn't a necessary solution however. houari_id wrote: I was also failed by using CDC in the same picture control with the vmr video (the CDC drawing is overlapped by the video...) Yeah, that won't work well.. That's why mixing is necessary :) Mark "Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears." Chris Maunder

Why change the framerate? Wouldn't that change the motion of the video? Since you have a "clock" already because you're playing video you shouldn't need to use a timer. You can base your motion on the timestamp of each frame. Mark "Great job, team. Head back to base for debriefing and cocktails." (Spottswoode "Team America")

Check out the InvalidateRect() API to mark a window or windows to be repainted. (Same API used by CWnd::Invalidate() from my original reply) Mark "Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. It's a dumb question... skip it."

Did you check with your debugger if the code that draws your image is called in that case ?

Fortunately, I have tried using SDK from FMOD, and it worked! :) We can use FMOD very simple and easy, just a view lines of code... FMOD site: www.fmod.org

Ah!! It worked!! Thank you very much...

The error said stack overflow. You are looking in the wrong place. chkstk.asm is where the program actually ran out of stack memory, but your problem is a design issue. When the error happens look at the call stack in the debugger to see what function(s) were called to produce the overflow. You either: 1. Tried to allocate too much memory from the stack. e.g. void badfunc( void ) { long badvar[128*1024]; ... } or, 2. Got caught in a deep function call loop that ended with the same effect as 1. e.g. for small values this is fine, for larger values it will blow the stack long badrecurse( long R ) { long r = 1; // alloc 4 bytes off stack - each iteration! if( R > 1 ) r = badrecurse(R-1); return(R * r); } ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set
