[M4IF Technotes] ActiveMovie and DirectX8

[Mariano Padilla]

Hi,
	As far as I can tell, DirectX 6.5 and higher did away with the old
Windows MCI and ActiveMovie controls.  MS would like us to use DirectX by
implementing either DirecShow or Media Player.  Both Controls have
advantages and disadvantages.  As posted earlier, yes it would be better to
ask MS directly.  However, sometimes MS does not give the answers for free.
I would suggest use the DirectX8, or beta 9 which is soon to come out and
appears to be the direction MS is going for now.  You may also want to check
the MS Newsgroups at the following link.  They contain good information from
VC++ and other developers.

Hope it helps.

hi,all:
   When I design a MPEG4 codec in windows, I encounter a problem: what is
the relationship between
ActiveMovie SDK and DirectX8 SDK?
Thanks
