Would using a RAMdisk be good enough? Cheers, Carl

I have a 3rd party DLL which opens a file that I specify. Specially it is an audio decoder plugin which decodes MP3 to PCM. What I would like to do is use this plugin to access a memory location which contains MP3 data instead of a file. Is it possible to set up something in Windows where you specify a filename but actually accesses memory instead. This will be used with encrypted mp3 files so they are not accessible to anyone to steal for their own use. I am currently opening the file, decrypting, and then saving a temporary file to disk. But this has 2 disadvantages. It is very slow, so lots of latency between asking a track to play and hearing it. And also, while the file is decrypted on disk, someone can steal it. The DLL cannot be modified. Is there any solution? Thanks, Ross. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
