Music/Video Concept – A way around Windows Media PLayer

July 18, 2008 at 3:25 am (Achievement, Concepts) (, , )

Well, im going to share a little secret that i have been brewing up for some time now; a way around the hassles and limits of the Windows Media Player Control!

With the help of flash, you can change any media format into a .swf file: e.g: i have a .avi movie, i want to change it into a .swf file, simply import video into a flash project, change some frame rates and other options you want, and then export out as a .swf file

But what does a .swf file mean to me in vb??

it means that YOU as a programmer dont need to use windows media player any more to play movies!

All you need now is a simple web browser! a control that requires no code to get your movie (in a .swf format) playing in your vb.net application!

With my home brew genius concept, i decided to PUT this into PRACTISE, and achieved the ability to easily add mp3 music, and video to any of my forms with easeeeee!
