AVI files reading using Video for Windows.

The class allows to read AVI files using Video for Windows API.

Sample usage:

// instantiate AVI reader AVIReader reader = new AVIReader( ); // open video file reader.Open( "test.avi" ); // read the video file while ( reader.Position - reader.Start < reader.Length ) { // get next frame Bitmap image = reader.GetNextFrame( ); // .. process the frame somehow or display it } reader.Close( );
