Command line to video player
|
|
| Doug Sanders 2005-08-26, 3:55 am |
| Can a video player be controlled via VB or VBA with a command such as-
'Mplay32.exe VideoName, Play,
Startpoint, Endpoint' (as in 3min 2 seconds, 4min 19 seconds)
I have a surveillance video and want to point to several significant points
of interest. I can break up the video into segments, but am looking for
an easier way.
I have posted this question in two other groups, but got no reponse.
Thanks
Doug Sanders

| You could use the WindowsMediaPlayer control, with that you can specify a
position in a file by time. If you know the frame rate you can even move by
one frame at a time which might be useful for your application.
The WindowsMediaPlayer is very badly documented for VB so some trail & error
is required but it should do what you want.

| I'll have to play around with it and see. You're right about not much info
from MS.
Thanks
