I had a small mistake in the above post. void CMyDlg::OnStep() { if (MPState == MP_PLAYING) g_pMediaPlayer->GetControls().pause(); // forward m_nOneFrame = 0.04 (PAL) g_pMediaPlayer->GetControls().SetCurrentPosition((double)m_nOneFrame); } should be: void CMyDlg::OnStep() { ... if (MPState == MP_PLAYING) g_pMediaPlayer->GetControls().pause(); // forward m_nOneFrame = 0.04 (PAL) g_pMediaPlayer->GetControls().SetCurrentPosition((double)(m_nCurrPos + m_nOneFrame)); } No pains, no gains.

Congratulations! Glad to know you! :-D

Thank you very much. I am trying... No pains, no gains.

Like Chris said, just set the threads priority low. IMHO, there is little point in playing games with Sleep. Just set the priority of the thread low and let the OS do it's job. If nothing else requires CPU, the math thread will get 100% of CPU which is exactly what you want. There is no point sleeping the thread when nothing else needs the CPU. However, since the thread has a lower priority, if pratically any other thread requires the CPU, they will get it.

But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

Thank you! Just so easy!! Windows98 SE, VC++ 6.0 SP5

Thank you vrey much! I have solved it!:) :) :)

I want to know if there is a way that can merge the two video sources (as picture in picture). Thanks. Windows98 SE, VC++ 6.0 SP5

One efficient way to do this (I'm sorry I shouldn't use the word "effcient" because it carries out endless debates:|). One way to do this is through a custom based COM filter using DirectShow (now completely integrated in DirectX 8.x). If you are planning to use this as a one time tool, you could avoid the code involved in plugging the filter into the GraphFilter of DirectShow and use the GraphEditor instead. The filter needs to get a stream input of the sample video in order to create the file that you want (i.e. bitmap). For instance, // // Copy the input sample into the output sample // Then transform the output sample 'in place' // HRESULT MyFilter::Transform(IMediaSample *pIn, IMediaSample *pOut) { HRESULT hr = Copy(pIn, pOut); if (FAILED(hr)) { return hr; } return Transform(pOut); } // Transform // // Create a bitmap from source and let dest be identical // in order to continue the process (playing). // HRESULT MyFilter::Copy(IMediaSample *pSource, IMediaSample *pDest) const { ... } There is much more work involved in developing a DirectShow filter. I hope this help you out.
