View 4 RepliesI am having a problem with converting video files to .flv files. I am using ffmpeg.exe tool to achieve this. Here on my local server when I use ffmpeg.exe tool with c# code everything is working good. But when I deploy the same code with ffmpeg tool on to my hosting server, where as .exe files are not allowed to execute, the code is not running. Is there any other way to achieve the same other than redirecting to video conversion sites because I want to save .flv files on my hosting server.
View 3 RepliesHow would one create video files in .NET? Any magical class library out there that allows you to capture images at a certain interval, then combine them into some popular video format? Any ways to capture streaming video from, say, a webcam? I have still images down pat, already made a couple different progs with that. Now looking for ideas on how to go about capturing actual video....
All that I have searched have brought be to DirectX, with DirectShow. Is there a different way? Every DirectX SDK I seem to download has everything but DirectShow (and with dialup, usually, when I say "Download" I mean, "installed it from a cd with the files downloaded by a friend on it" ).
What classes has vb.net got to work with video files...like mpg or mp4i wanna write some code to be able to save a specific video frame to a jpg image.
View 1 RepliesThis is tied in with the other discussion that I started last week about playing audio files using the DirectX classes. If you haven't yet had a look at that other thread,Using the same reference as in the audio application, let's set up a form for video this time. I started with a form that I then placed a split container on and in the lower panel of the split contatiner, I placed the buttons and other controls. Following is how I have mine set up:
Reread the thread on the audio player because the methods are very similar - in fact some are identical! However, this is video and it got a bit more involved as you might expect.The full code is here and I hope you'll find it useful to you. Following is a screenshot of the end result.
I need to show a grid of saved projects (compare "orders") in a datagrid, where the projects are saved in an Access 2000 database with a similar schema as follows:
ID Name Country_ID Plant_Type
1 'Test' 1 1
2 'Second' 2 2
Let's call the file "Projects.mdb". This is then showed in the datagrid as:
ID Name Country Plant Type
1 'Test' 'Germany' 'Free Range'
2 'Second' 'France' 'Inclined Roof'
where the countries and "Plant Types" are fetched from a different table in a different .mdb file (also Access 2000, call it "Language.mdb", although there is a lot of different background data in it), depending on the current user's language preference. It is unfortunately not an alternative to merge these .mdb's into one file.
To be able to show the datagrid I have so far linked the tables from "Language.mdb" into "Projects.mdb", but this screws up when the project is being installed on another computer with the .msi file i created (we'd like to have this easily packaged and installed), as the "Language.mdb" doesn't exist on the linked path on the target computer (Basically the problem here).
I can come up with the following solutions:
Force all users to install on the same path, so that the links will work (undesirable)Use connection strings in the query as shown here on MSDN (still trying this out, but I need to work on the details)make a post-install script that relinks the tables according to the correct path.
I am attempting to access an SQL (.mdf) file I have created with the Database Explorer utility of Visual Basic. Here is some relevant code from the program:
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Dim Database01 As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=C:Test01.mdf")
SMUDatabase01.Open()
At this last line of code, I get the following error message:
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)".
I am using Windows Vista OS and the firewall is turned off.
I suspect the problem might be the settings (such as connection strings) within the app.config file, but if so I am unsure what the correct coding within this file should be to access the file.

View 7 RepliesMy problem is that I have a program which needs to access images for multiple choice questions, hundreds of them. Now when I publish the program it is not taking the images with it. I have read some information by 'kleinma' regarding publishing and he says to right click on the Bin and click include in project, but when I do this there is no command in the menu for this.
I have included all of my image files in the Bin and have also added them using the resource editor, but to no avail As I have indicated it is the Express edition, could this make a difference

View 1 RepliesI have created a sub folder (named 'Data') under my project through the solution explorer. I also have created a text file (data.txt) inside the new sub folder. This text file is used to store information such as settings and connections.
I can check the file using the full path. However, I want to avoid errors such as moving the project folder to a different location. Is there anyway to check using a relative path? File.Exists("~Datadata.txt")
Or is it better to create it under Application.StartupPath?

View 2 RepliesBasically I download lots of TV shows and they're never named in the way I like; they're named like this "The Office.S06E22.HDTV.XviD-NoTV."So I was wondering if I had a .txt file with all the episode names I could make a program to rename all the video files in the right order so they're named like this "The Office Season 6 Episode 22 - Secretary's Day."So I want to copy and paste a list of correct episodes names into a text file. Then I want to read the text file, which I already know how to do. Then, and this is the bit I'm struggling with, I want to read the text file, one line at a time, and it renames the top video file with the top episode name and so on.

View 1 RepliesI have an application and in this application there is a search option. I want the seach to search for all music and video files. I keep getting UnauthorizedAccessException error and I'm assuming its because my application is trying to access a file for witch access is being denied. This is the code that I am using.tbsearch is textbox and results is the listbox that the search results get added to.
Dim dirPath As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("G:")
For Each file As FileInfo In dirPath.GetFiles
(tbsearch.Text & "*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
results.Items.Add(file.FullName)
Next
Also, how can't I make it so that only the name of the file found is added, not the full path. I know that I could instead of using file.FullName use file.Name but then I can play the media file because the application wont know where to find it. Any code that I could use to add only the found file name to the listox? Perhaps I need another hidden listbox that get the full name and then the results listbox retrieves only the last part of the path?
I have a doubt. I'd like to make a program where you can drag music files (mp3, flac, wav, wma..) and video files (avi, mpeg, mp4, vob, mov) and get the property values of this ones... For example, bitrate, KBps, size, etc, to put them in textbox or listboxes.
View 3 Replieshow would I go about making the user access different local SQL databases. As in they use a GUI program to access / read / write data in a database but can also use that same GUI program to do the same to multiple database files.Is that sort of setup easy to integrate into a VB program? or does a VB program by nature only try to access one database? To integrate the open and close dialogs into a VB GUI in terms of different database files, is there much involved?
View 10 RepliesFor a project, I need to extract all the frames of an AVI video. This I have accomplished by with free program. The problem: it took a 30 second clip and spit back 5400 some frames, and the image only changes every 20 frames or so. I really only need about 270 frames, but I didn't want to go through each one manually. So, I wrote a small program using Visual Studio 2008 and VB to open each image in binary and compare it to the one before that. If there is a discrepancy of more than 55000 (to accommodate slight errors in capturing), it leaves the file be. If not, it deletes it.
After much troubleshooting, I got it all to work. I ran it on the directory containing the images, but when it finished, only the first image remained. I checked into it, and found that the FSO loop I have set up to loop through each file was pulling the files in apparently random order. It will give me the image "bg(01).bmp" and then immediately "bg(1362).bmp" and so on. And the order changes every run.
I tried setting up an array to generate a list of all the files and then sort them, so I could pull off the name of the file, then the next one, ect. but it took over 3 hours to finish processing the array, and then It was using a huge chunk of RAM.Is there some way to "force" vb to pull off files in alphabetical order? here is my, code, it belongs with a form. fPath is a global variable, simply pointing to the source directory.
