DVD Player

[cyprus106]

I would like to make a DVD player. It has always been on my todo list, so I could learn how to make it, and I finally have the time now... and I have no idea what to do. I just realized that I don't know where to start. Do I need to DeCSS it before I can play it? What file do I play? How do I get the scenes, the movie to start, etc. Anyone have any suggestions to lead me in the right direction?

Thanks alot, Cyprus

Cyprus,

Start with the TMediaPlayer component. I think it will play DVD's.

Try setting DeviceType in the Object Inspector to either 'dtAutoSelect' or 'dtDigitalVideo'. The help files on TMediaPlayer were very helpful for me.

btw - if you figure out how to set the volume, let me know...

Thank you, I didn't think the Media Player component would support DVD Capabilities. Along the lines of volume, I have a wonderful example project that raises and lowers the volume within a program. I use it in all of my sound-related products. If you would like a copy please mail me a request, and I'll send you the code, as I do not know where I got it.

Thanks, Cyprus
