AVI files in Windows

[MRANFTL]

I'd like to create a small windows or dos console app in Visual C++ that will open AVI files in a batch and print out each file's properties to a file, like height and width, number of colors, and frames per sec. Does anyone know of the functions and libraries I should use?

Thanks in advance

Hi

You have to make the following "#include" s

#include <vfw.h>
#include <mmsystem.h>
#include <avifmt.h>

// You can open the avi file using the STDAPI call AVIFileOpen();

// First initialize the AVI library.

AVIFileInit();

PAVIFILE avi_file = NULL;
char avifilename[] = &quot;your file path&quot;;
AVIFileOpen(&avi_file, avifilename, OF_READ);

// This will open the AVI file and give u a handle to the file
// in &quot;avi_file&quot;.

// Now create on object of type AVIFILEINFO.

AVIFILEINFO myaviInfo;

// Read the information you want;

AVIFileInfo(&avi_file, &myaviInfo, sizof(myaviInfo));

Now the info structure is filled with the data u want ...

You can also experiment with AVIFileReadData() function.


Hope this helps
