Yes I tried running with other movie files. It works fine with mpg files but just not avi... I there any way to fix this?

Hi, I used the MCI player on this site http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/hmediaplayer.aspx[^] but for some reason whenever I play a avi video no sound ever comes out. Does anyone know why?

Yes I basically want to play a movie file with my project... I have a project that gives me data on when to play the movie. I just need to make the movie play it at those times... How do i do that?

As in I have two projects different projects in MFC in a solution. I want to call the dialog created by the second project in my first project.

Both of my projects areMFC

I am using an MFC project. I am trying to run a video player on my MFC project and therefore is having problems. Thanks

So I am using the solution Explorer and I link two projects together. The question I want to ask is how do I run an object that is created from my second project on my first project? Is there any easy way to do that using include? I tried looking through the microsoft library on Project Dependencies but I am still confused. Thanks

I recently got offered a job by this entrepreneur. He basically knew that I was a programmer and wanted to hire me but he had one condition: By tomorrow I am suppose to create a Visual C++ program in Visual Studio 2008 that is able to play movies and through the code chose what position (what time) of the movie to start. He doesn't care how I do it or who I ask, he just want it done. Since I have no Visual Studio experience, (I program in Java and a little C) I tried looking around at the different options I have. I came up with 4. 1. I can use a command line through C to call window media player but then I would not be able to chose what position of the movie to start playing 2. I can use MCI but when I tried dragging the code in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712870(VS.85).aspx on to my program I got compiling errors. 3. I can try using the Window Media Player 10 SDK but that seems really compilcated and I don't have the time to learn all that in a day. 4. I can try using some other open source programs or thir-party program like VLC and hope it would run. I basically tried each of those options and I always run into compiling problems, I think I am the closest with MCI but I am not sure. I am jsut very stump right now as I realize if only I have time to learn VIsual Stuido 2008, how easy and fun it would be to make Windows program. Can anyone give me any hints or advice on how to solve this problem? I would be very grateful. Thanks PS: I use Windows XP
