• djang Audio-software Development with DirectX 10

  I wish to develop an audio software (like winamp, jet-audio etc) using Direct X 10. Dear experts, what do you suggest about this Should or should not I go with this Please tell in detail regarding your suggestion. Thanks Well, which API you'll want to use probably depends on what exactly your application is going to do. For instance, if you're looking to write an application that does playback of audio files, you could consider using Media Foundation for this. I'll say that this forum is primarily about Media Foundation, which is the new multimedia platform for Windows Vista. So if your application is going to need to run on earlier OSes, you'll probably need to use a legacy platform (like DirectShow), in which case your ...Show All

• Sqnyy A couple of flyout questions

  I know that the flyout can't fire unless the gadget has focus. I want to make a gadget launch a reminder at certain times, I have a less conveniant fallback method, but I'd prefer to get focus on the gadget first. Does anyone know of a workaround Secondly, is it possible to launch a flyout whilst keeping focus of an input box on the Gadget I want to use the flyout as a little helper window to aid the user input. Andy Thanks Jonathan, Didn't realise I had to use a timer. I had tried self.focus() but it didn't work... now i know why :) Andy E Bug#12 on the known bugs list !

• Me_Alpy Multiplexing??

  Hi Folks I've been a Scenarist author for sometime and now want to jump into HD-DVD authoring. Was wondering where to find a third party multiplexing tools once the programming is done Thanks - I'm sure this is the first of many posts here! Eric Scenarist HD will do multiplexing and formatting: http://www.sonic.com/products/Professional/Scenarist/features.aspx You can create and simulate interactive content on a PC with the Jumpstart package, but you can't create a real disc without a multiplexer and formatter / burner / replicator / etc. I don't know what The Elephant's Dream was multiplexed with; sorry.

• Thilakavathy Question about Beta 11 and the total time/Gigs of music

  With Beta 11, I cannot tell how much time a single cd has on it, or the total time in my library altogether. That was one thing I loved about version 10. Is there something I am missing Also, I was hoping you could tell me how I can see how many gigs I have. I had 13 total on version 10 and now I can't tell how much I have at all and it would be reassuring to me to know that all of it is still there on version 11.

  Do I have to go to replication to get a 15G disc Also Peter you are a very good speaker...I went in to work today and figured out animation...but I always want to do more than the pixel buffer will allow me to do...I compressed to High quality jpegs and got a nice quality for a great compression.

• pretzelfisch Tee node and custom media source

  I used the WavSource MediaSource example and I used it in topology using a tee node. When I do that, an errors occurs after starting the session (0x8000FFFF). If I dont use a tee node everything works fine. I tried setting the MF_TOPONODE_PRIMARYOUTPUT and MF_TOPONODE_DISCARDABLE but that did not change anything. Marc Looks like it's fixed in RC2. I just finished installing RC2 (5744) and it works now. Thanks for looking into it. Marc Why would you want a tee with only one output Sure, if you're willing, just send over your modified-basic-playback test application... That'll probably save us some iterations.

• Aknght No "Add Stuff" Link?

  Hey, Following the SDK guidelines I went to the live.com page to try and add the sample gadget, but I can't find the "Add Stuff" link anywhere. What am I missing It should be in the left corner, right under the banner and above the tabs for your pages. You can also try the easy way to add your sample gadget by putting this in your addressbar: http://www.live.com/ add= MANIFEST-URL Change MANIFEST-URL in your gadget.xml That's really weird! Never had this experience... I can't imagine that IE6 is the problem, I'm sure you should be able to open www.live.com with FF.

• Kmartin Applicative mode (Styling)

  Hello Everybody!!!! What I get from Spec is that the Applicative mode for styling uses an Xpath Expression to select the nodes. At each tick the style is re-initialised for the node and DOM tree can change.Thus, evaluated node set can change dynamically, thus a node may/maynot have applicative mode applied to it depending on the Xpath Evaluation. Is this understanding correct. 2) The Applicative mode is over-ridden by referential and inline style. What is the usage scenario for this mode Thanx in advance. "Referential mode" style    changes/modifies/applies to  the Loaded DOM. What does "applicative mode" changes/modifies/applies to a) LIVE DOM or b) the Loaded DOM Spec does not seem to be clear in this reg ...Show All

• Steve from adzac About MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER.

  Hi all! Please give me some pieces of advice on MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER. Although I set the MF_SA_D3D_AWARE in the argument at the GETAttributes(IMFAttributes** pAttribute) of myMFT, the MF didn't notify myMFT of MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER. I describe my testcode in the following. HRESULT myMFT::GetAttributes(IMFAttributes** pAttributes) { HRESULT hr = MFCreateAttributes(pAttributes, 1); if( SUCCEEDED(hr) ) { hr = (*pAttributes)->SetUINT32(MF_SA_D3D_AWARE, TRUE); } return hr; } Of course the category of myMFT is VIDEO_DECODER and myMFT is connected to EVR directly. Please tell me the reason why the MF does not notify myMFT about MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER How can I get that message from the MF M ...Show All
