Hi, I was wondering about MPEG playback cards and their drivers. I have a need to be able to pull up an MPEG file onto a blue background. The frame of the video I'm seeking to is also blue. I'm doing this with a MCI string commands using OPEN LOAD SEEK WINDOW STATE SHOW Normally, with .AVI files, the file loads, opens, seeks to a frame and then is put in a window on the screen, paused. When I try this with the RealMagic MPEG card, I always get a black flash on opening the file. I still show a paused frame in the .MPG file, except that I always get a black flash, then the frame in question. I heard this was the driver's fault, not MPEG as a platform. Is there anyone who has any info on this? Maybe a MPEG card with a good driver? Thanks, John
