I am interested in writing a multimedia application but have little (read
no) experience in this sort of area and was wondering if someone could point
me in the right direction as far as the following:-

	1. Would Windows be the easiest way to start?
	2. Would C++ be the best language to use?
	3. What are some good references?

I am specifically going to have digital-video clips running on some part of
the screen as well as information in text form and also doing some I/O at the
same time.

Sorry if it's all a bit hazy but this is the start of learning how to do it
as well as what I'll be doing.

ANY info would be appreciated.

If you are recommending a reference please include the ISBN in case I have
to order it in from the local (small) bookshop.

Thanks in advance,
Craig.
