FlashPoint 128 MCI Overlay Driver (Cont.)
MCI Commands and Syntax
The Media Control Interface (MCI) driver provides a device independent
interface to the FlashPoint 128 board. Any Windows application which
supports MCI can be used to display and capture video images. Applica-
tion developers can communicate with the MCI driver using command-
message functions, although most developers and all end users will
probably find it easier to use the command-string interface. The com-
mand-string interface provides control of an MCI device using simple
command strings. Many authoring packages allow sending command
strings to an MCI device.
