What Windows API should I use that will let me: Get the colour format, frame dimensions, and number of frames in an AVI or MPG file. Request a particular frame number and have it load into memory where it can be handled by my program.
Helpful addition: What would be the basic steps of this process using that API? Is there a easy set of API calls that would do the reverse (take a frame in memory and append it to an AVI file, or — probably more complex — replace a particular frame in an AVI file). Many thanks
