I want to create a windows Forms program where I play an AVI file. I want to be able to play it in full speed, to pause, to get the total number of frames, and to show a given frame (seek). The AVI file has metadata for the file AND metadata per frame.
I want to do this in a windows Forms application in C#, or if it is really necessary using C++. Internet search shows me a lot of possibilities to use: DirectX, DirectShow, Windows Media Player, Microsoft DirectX9, GNU code, and several other methods.
Alas I haven't seen one that supports all that I want, especially the metadata per frame is not used often.
It seems that several of these methods are obsolete, for instance to be able to use Microsoft DirectX I need to add "useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy".
So anyone who knows what method is the latest and greatest method to use in windows programming? Which method allows me to show metadate-per-frame?
