This post is addressed to the Borland People who write the code
for the TMediaPlayer.

Can someone in Borland fixed the following two defects
in the TMediaPlayer control. These problems are common
to all versions of C++ Builder:

Defect 1)
   When diaplaying an AVI movies on a Panel (TPanel control)
        which has either finished playing or it has been rewinded, the image
        of the frame is not refreshed when:
    a) the form that contain that Panel is minimised and then restored
        to its normal size.
    b) The form that contain the Panel is "moved off the screen" and then
        into the screen again so that the Panel that contain the movie goes
off
        the screen and then into the screen again.

Defect 2)
   WMV movies cannot be moved forward or backwards frame-by-frame using
    the following code:

  //Next Frame
  MediaPlayer1->Frames = 1;
  MediaPlayer1->Step();

  //Previous Frame
  MediaPlayer1->Frames = 1;
  MediaPlayer1->Back();

This code works correctly for both MPEG and AVI movies.

I would appreciate if someone can advice me if these problems are fixed.
I would also appreciate if Borland can provide the way to overcome
these problem for the time being.

Thanks in advance
Rodolfo
