Video library

[Voltrox]

Hello,

I have now figured out how to use the BASS Audio library, thanks foryour help. :)

But now I need a video library...is there a BASSS video library? if not...

Could someone please recommend a simple, easy to use but decent video library?

Thank you.

Are you talking video as in DirectX, OpenGL, SDL (IE Rendering Contexts) or video as in AVI, DiviX, etc... This makes a difference, also define simple, easy, and decent. Sorry, but it's hard to answer a question that is so vague.

[Voltrox]

Oh, video as in divX, AVI, MPEG and so on...

Something that is as simple as or almost as simple as Bass, which is quite simple, and something that isn't error, prone, sluggish and horrible like Mitov Audiolab.

Try DSPack (http://www.progdigy.com/modules.php?name=DSPack) from progdigy (http://www.progdigy.com).

DSPPACK doesn't work, I use Delphi 2006. :(

[Legolas]

Just look at dspack forum. There is a topic about installing it on delphi 2006

[Voltrox]

I still can't get it to work. :(

[Voltrox]

Ok, even if it's hard to use, could someone please direct me to some form of Delphi video library or component and it's instructions?

Nicholas, from what I've read of your posts while here. You have not done a great deal yourself.

I'd strongly recomend you put a little more effort into the hard work and less into expecting others to do all the leg work for you. I'm sure you'll find the task at hand much more gratifying that way.

[tanffn]

WILL, that’s exactly what I said to my brother few minutes ago! :shock: (thought it wasn’t related to video library :) )

[Voltrox]

I searched several google pages today and didn't find a single library (even if hard to use) that actually worked with Delphi, i really need your help in finding a library or component, please.

[Voltrox]

Ok, i've downgraded to Delphi 7.

I tried to install DSPack and it said jedi.inc not found, so i searched and found it on my hard disk, and copied it into the oflder, then it installed the components, but I don't see any filename textboxes or anything that would enable me to play a video, and it's saying 'DSPack.du not found' what do i do?

[tanffn]

I used DSPack long time ago so I don’t remember the spastics, but I do remember there are a lot of examples and there should be an installation explanation (maybe they need JEDI-JCL installed?).

If you did follow their instruction and you still have a problem the right place to ask is in their forum, their users should be more experienced with the lib.

[Voltrox]

Ok, well I downloaded the JCL but don't know how to install it.

[tanffn]

run Install.bat... you can also take a look at the file Install.txt and also docs\Readme.txt

[Voltrox]

I ran install.bat and it brought up a command prompt window and closed it after 1 second.

[Legolas]

Start install.bat from console, so you can read what goes wrong

[Voltrox]

Ok, I just did that and it installed it in the Delphi 7 IDE, but i'm not seeing any socket connection components nor video playing ones :(

what do i do now?

[Voltrox]

D:\Engines\JVCLC197\jvcl>install
build.exe found. Pretest: ok
Using d7 for build process.

But when I tried installing it into BDS 2006 it said 'dcc32.exe not found'.

It still says "DSPack.dcu not found".

[Legolas]

dcc32.exe should be the command line compiler. Maybe you should change the path of dcc32.exe in the install.bat file, though I'm unsure if delphi 2006 have a command line compiler (turbo delphi doesn't).

[tanffn]

JCL uses dcc32 to compile build.dpr, and if it wasn't found you won't get the error "'dcc32.exe not found'" you'll get something like that

======= FAILED =======

Delphi Compiler for Win32 (dcc32.exe) was not found. Please add the
echo Delphi\Bin directory to the PATH environment variable.

You can do this by executing
'SET PATH=C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\Bin;%%PATH%%'
(Adjust the directories to your installation path)

Although if it worked for D7 (found dcc32) it should have worked for BDS8.. :/ and when JEDI-JCL installation appears you can install it for both development systems at once (you will see 2 tags one with D7 options and one for BDS8).

[Voltrox]

My Apologies, I made a mistake.

I successfully installed JVCL with no troubles, but that only installed itself into the D7 IDE.

It did not install itself into the BDS 2006 IDE, however, when I ran JCL setup, it didn't install anything in either of the IDE's.

JCL is what gave me the "dcc32.exe not found" error.

What do I do?

JCL is a non visual package, so you won't see anything in the IDE

[Voltrox]

Oh, this is embarrassing. :(
