- This sample application demonstrates the following tasks:
-
- - Using the MediaDet object to obtain a poster frame from a source clip.
- - Saving a timeline as an XTL file.
- - Writing a timeline to an AVI file.
- - Loading media clips.
-
- To use this application, do the following:
-
- - Drag video files or image files from Windows Explorer to the cells in the
- application window, starting from the cell in the upper-left corner.
-
- - Enter the length of time that each clip should play, in seconds.
-
- - Select a transition, using the combo box. The transitions have a
- fixed two-second duration.
-
- - To preview the slide show, click Play.

- For more information about this sample, see the SlideShowVB.DOC documentation
- in the resources\doc subdirectory. This documentation contains screenshots
- that demonstrate how to create a simple slideshow.
-
-
- NOTE: The list of transitions is hard-coded into the application; consequently,
- some of the transitions in the combo box may not be present on your development
- machine. If you select a transition that is not installed on your machine,
- then the default "Slide" transition will be used instead.
-
- The DirectX Media 6 SDK includes several third-party transitions in the form
- of DirectX Transforms. To enable these transitions, you can install the
- DirectX Media 6 SDK, which is available only on the DirectX 7.0a CD-ROM.
- You can order this CD-ROM by following the "DirectX 7.0a SDK CD-ROM" link on
- http://www.microsoft.com/directx/dxmedia.
