FAQ2075D.txt Frame count of an AVI
Category :VCL
Platform :All
Product :All 32 bit
Question:
How can I tell how many frames are in a given AVI file and how long
the AVI file will play?
Answer:
The TMediaPlayer provides this information by setting the
TimeFormat property and querying the Length property. The
following example demonstrates retrieving the number of
frames and the play time of a given AVI file.
Example:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
MediaPlayer1.TimeFormat := tfFrames;
ShowMessage('Number of frames = ' +
IntToStr(MediaPlayer1.Length));
MediaPlayer1.TimeFormat := tfMilliseconds;
ShowMessage('Number of milliseconds = ' +
IntToStr(MediaPlayer1.Length));
end;
