Hi all,
this is my first tour inside DirectX.
My goal is that:
I have a many jpegs files grabbed from a camera (at up to 6 images per
second) and stored in a proprietary format.
I would like to show these jpegs sequentially like MoviePlayer does.
I already tried to solve it using standard jpeg libraries and Borland
TImage, but when streams to display are more than 3 or 4, performances go
down rapidly.
Do you think that using DirectX will be my program more powerfull?
If yes, could you help me?
Thanks for any help and i'm sorry for my rusty english.
Greats to all.
Lapo
 

Dear Lapo,
For 6 frames, u do not need DirextX.

I supposed that frames number was 6*[displayed stream contemporaneously]
Maybe I was wrong.
Thank you for the answer

Hi,
The VCL component TVideoGrabber could be suited for this purpose, but
it is not free.
During the frame capture you can modify the video frames, save them to
AVI and then play them back at their normal speed or slower.
You can find it at www.datastead.com
