Playing Video Files
I am trying to make a GUI that plays video files. I've done quite a bit of research on the topic, and I've found some help, but not much. I was wondering: what are the steps to getting a video to play in a C++ GUI? Do I need a codec, a library, or both? Also, what are the commands associated with playing a video file? I hear Windows has some support for .avi files, which I would like to learn how to play. Also, I have a book that says how to create a GUI, so that's not a problem.
Thank you, but I'm looking around and it seems to be a good resource, but how do I get a window to play the video? I also found how to create windows, it's just adding the video that has me confused...
