Build a File Playback Graph

GraphEdit can automatically build a filter graph that plays a file. The file can be a local file, or a file located at a URL.

To build a graph that plays a local file:

1. On the File menu, click Render Media File....
2. Select the file.
3. Click Open.

Note   You can also drag a file icon to the GraphEdit application window, or to the GraphEdit program icon.

To build a graph that plays a file located at a URL:

1. On the File menu, click Render URL....
2. In the dialog box that appears, type the URL or select a URL from the drop-down list.
3. Click Open.

These two commands are equivalent to calling the IGraphBuilder::RenderFile method.
