Re: live adjustable window - please help!



From: "Chili Finger"

I need to present LIVE video on a server-side web page.
I've got an application that I wrote in mostly JavaScript
on a Firefox browser (I can switch to IE if needed) and I
need to take a small section of the live video and place
it over some images.
[...]

In addition to what Iain said, you may want to try the WMP
control v7.0 in IE (it will work in Firefox too when
installing Microsoft's Netscape plugin wrapper, but some of
the advanced features you need may not work in Firefox). If
you configure it to be UI-less and maybe even windowles, you
should be able to put it in a layer and clip/stack several
controls and images just like you do with IMG elements. O
course, more than 1 control degrades performance if
DirectDraw's overlay is used for rendering instead of
Direct3D (you have no control over this: it depends on the
version of WMP, the version of Windows and the video driver
I think). Also, you need to be able to play your video
source in WMP (which at worst requires that you write a
custom push source filter, which may be easier or harder
than writing a full-blown player control depending on your
exact environment).
