Visual C#.Net >> Media recording and delivery via C# I want to be able to record media off CD's and onto the C: drive, and then
control display - all via the framework.

Is the Media Player SDK ActiveX control the best for this? Or some other
solution?

Thanks,

John

Visual C#.Net >> Media recording and delivery via C# I've used both the Media Player ActiveX control and DirectX 9.0
AudioVisualPlayback classes (There are Video and Audio classes in this
namespace). Both work well. I find the DirectX 9.0 is a little easier to
use. Media Player is compatible with DRM scenarios (DirectX may be, but I
haven't found a way to do it).

Good Luck,
Dave Girvitz, MCAD

Visual C#.Net >> Media recording and delivery via C# Thanks Dave,

I've downloaded the DirectX Managed SDK, and it's great. Trouble is, I can't
get it to play mp3 files! WMA files are fine...

Shouldn't it be a case of just:

Audio a = new Audio("c:\\a.mp3");
a.Play();

?? This works fine for WMA (I have the correct 'using' refs obviously), but
I just get silence from mp3. No error message or exception.

Thanks,

John
