Playing AVI File on Direct3D Retained Mode Texture

ID: Q155951

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

The AVIRM sample demonstrates a method of streaming video from an Audio- Video Interleaved (.avi) file onto a Direct3D Retained Mode texture. The texture is created with the IDirect3DRM::CreateTexture() method and is updated by modifying the memory pointed to by the buffer1 member of the D3DRMIMAGE structure specified.

The stretching capabilities of DirectDraw are used to stretch the AVI frames to fit a 256 by 256 DirectDraw surface used to update the texture. The texture is modified each frame, and the IDirect3DRMTexture::Changed() method is called to inform the renderer of the change.

This sample was developed using Microsoft's Visual C++ 4.x Developer Studio. To build the sample, the development environment must include the DirectX 2 SDK.
