BasicVideo is small low cost subset of the more powerful VideoLab package. BasicVideo is designed for developing only video capture and playback applications, and has no video processing, mixing, or broadcasting functionality included.

BasicVideo supports both the old fashion Win32 API (VFW), Audio ACM and DirectShow (DirectX), and even allows if needed any mixture of them. The developer can choose to go with any of them, to use both, or can switch from the one to the other at any moment. The components hide the complexity of both approaches, and make them look almost identical from the users prospective.

Now you can create video capture and playback applications in seconds, with zero lines of code.

Features at a glance:

• Load Flash movies from any TStream descendant (TResourceStream, TMemoryStream, etc.)
• Create Flash-enabled applications which are ready to work even when Flash Player ActiveX is not installed.
• Flash Transparency is fully supported.
• Ability to play Flash Video (FLV) from stream.
• Enable/disable flash sounds 6. Get a snap image of the current flash movie frame.
• Write code which is compatible with any version of Flash (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8).

For example, you can put one or more Flash movies in the resource section of your application and then load it from the exe. That's the portability and power of TFlashPlayerControl.

By default, the component will use the swflash.ocx/flash.ocx that's already installed on the system. The component can alternatively use any swflash.ocx/flash.ocx that you provide it with using any supported source. Using this method, your application will work even if Flash Player ActiveX doesn't exist on the target system. With TFlashPlayerControl, hassling with Flash Player ActiveX installation issues is a thing the past.

Demos, complete with source code, are provided. One of the problem with Flash programming is that you have to control what version of Flash you are using. For example, the property "Stacking" exists only in Flash 5 but doesn't exist in later revisions. TFlashPlayerControl automatically detects which Flash version is being used and prevents failure if access to nonexistent properties or methods is attempted.
