Video library-for any language.

[Voltrox]

Could someone please recommend a video library?

Regardless of language, as long as it's good and not too complicated.

Thank you.

video? for video playback or 3d graphics?

for first: dspack, for second: opengl.

[Voltrox]

Video Playback.

I already tried DSPack and it didn't work.

[WILL]

Didn't you already have a thread about this?

[Voltrox]

Yes,

But I don't see it anymore.

For the package without design:

First error on load: Could not find resource file "DSPACK_D7.res. Recreated".

Then when I tried to compile it and got these errors:

[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(359): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(366): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(376): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(383): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(395): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(835): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record

[Pascal Fatal Error] DirectX9_D7.dpk(43): F2063 Could not compile used unit '..\src\DirectX9\DirectDraw.pas'

So I tried the DSPack_Design_D7 one and:

First error on load: "DSPACK_Design_D7.res not found. Recreated."

Then when I tried to compile it I got these errors:

[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(359): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(366): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record

[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(395): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(835): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Error] DirectDraw.pas(837): E2154 Type 'IDirectDrawSurface' needs finalization - not allowed in variant record
[Pascal Fatal Error] DirectX9_D7.dpk(43): F2063 Could not compile used unit '..\src\DirectX9\DirectDraw.pas'

Could someone please help me fix this or find a video library?

Thanks.

According to this artical (http://thecoadletter.com/article/0,1410,10365,00.html), the way you were declaring the variable became invalid in D5.

You can change the declaration to a pointer to get around the issue. The artical itself explains why this was done.
