AVI control

I have been playing with directshow (play movie) and was wondering .... is there any way to itterate trought the file ,,, i`e if you want to skip to a certain point in the movie how would it be done ??? CAN it be done ,, and if now WHY

I want to make a little player with the usual controls ,, pause , stop , fast forward , rewind ,, skip to point

pause, fast forward and rewind might be hard because the Movie Play Command is playing Realtime oriented automaticly. That means when you pause it, those Frames will be skipped automaticly after continuing playing it. The Playmovie commandset is a basic one. Probably you better try to find some .Decls Functions to use Windows Multimedia Capabilties.
