Hi All

I'm quite new in multimedia programming. I have started with an application
that should
- capture video and sound from an attached PC CAM into AVI or MPEG file,
- play these files,
- move (browse) through these files snap by snap forward / backward,
- save selected snap as a BMP or JPEG file etc.

When I looked at Help and MSDN, I found out, that Windows offer for
multimedia:
- Video for Windows functions (AVI File funcs, Video Capture)
- DirectX, Direct Show functions
- MCI functions
- maybe st.further.

The question is Which platform (group of functions) would be the best for my
purpose?
Oh, it takes a lot of time to read the help files and experiment with the
examples!

Thanks a lot in advance.
Karel
