Hi, Attempting to use PlaySound and sndPlaySound on a Win CE PocketPC. The API call returns to say it is a happy chappy and all is well, but I certainly don't get the specified .wav file played :-( ! The file name is correct etc etc Any idea's? Interestingly, when I try and play .wav file from Windows explorer they don't sound either.... probably a clue there..! Thanks Loz :confused:

Thanks for the reply. Tried it under Debug and Release, with the same Nett result. Omitted the DEBUG_NEW macro from the classes in question anyway. Cheers Laurence

Ladies and Gents, Wrote a Win 32 app, which ran nicely thankyou, within it I had aggregate structures containing up to 800K instances of a Point class. All was well. When I ported it to run in under an MFC app, the delete of the top level container was taking > 5 seconds, where previously it was near instantaneous. It uses STL containers, all the usual speed up tricks, but simply moving the classes into an MFC app causes it to run very very slow.... when deleting. Anyone come across this?? Any idea's?? Cheers Laurence

Hiya, I'm trying to find a DirectShow H263 encoder/decoder pair that works with frame sizes other than 176x 144, especialy as the camera I'm using doesn't output in this size (a slight issue :((). If anyone knows of one, I'd be grateful to know of it!! (Especiall 640 x 480) Many Thanks Loz

Further to a recent discussion thread, I can now stream RGB type formats across a propriatory link and render the image remotely. This proves the concept, however RGB encoding is large so have shifted to H263 encoding and decoding. But of course it isn't generating a picture at the other end :-/ !! The other end uses Graphedit with the appropriate decoder in place. When I send the IMediaSample from the sending end I used to just send the sample length and the sample itself, I now also send the Synch , Preroll, discontinuity and Start Stop Reference times to ensure the MediaSample I generate at the other end is representative, ie prior to going into the H263 decoder... but no joy. Has anyone attempted the same thing and had problems with H263 (have also tried H261) or got any ideas? Many Thanks Loz

Hiya, It is free, try http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/download.cgi Have fun Cheers Loz

I have used Xerces-C++ which is very painless to use in practise. Cheers Loz

Hiya, int a =33; CString lHexValue; lHexValue.Format("%x",a); Cheers Loz

Using DirectShow I am attempting to take a video feed from a web cam and then stream it across a proprietary link, where it can be viewed within another application somewhere. I have been exposed to DirectShow for about a day now, so excuse my ignorance, and my few attempts (eg using SetFileName to direct to a named pipe or COM1, and failing to inherit from CBaseRenderer)have got me no-where. Constructive suggestions welcome! Thanks Loz
