I KNOW THAT THIS ALREADY EXISTS IN OTHER APPS LIKE QIK OR LIVESTREAM. I JUST NEED THIS FUNCTION AS WELL FOR AN APP I AM BUILDING. ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN INCORPORATE THIS FUNCTION USING BUZZTOUCH? ANYTHINGN HELPS. STILL LEARNING. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Perhaps Google+ Fred

Don't shout, I've got a headache.

LOL @raveyd, @SILILOM - perhaps some sort of hosted option would sustain this? - similar to the updateable "gallery" type plugin but modified for video as well? Would probably take a bit of work, but i dont think its impossible. Dave

IS IT POSSIBLE TO EMPLOYE THE CODE USED IN QIK, GOOGLE PLUS, OR SKYPE IN TO CODE FOR A BUZZTOUCH APP. HOW COULD I ACCOMPLISH THIS? @ FRED I UNDERSTAND THAT THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS I JUST WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT IN MY APP. IF YOU KNOW HOW THAT WOULD HELP BUT STILL APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO COMMENT, I JUST HOPE YOU MAY STILL HAVE SOMETHING CONCRETE I CAN USE. THANKS EVERYONE AND TO CLARIFY I NEED TO IMPLEMENT THE ABILITY TO STREAM LIVE TO OTHER PHONES (WITH MUTIPLE PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME) AND ALSO STORE IT AT A SECURE WEBSITE SIMILAR TO YOUTUBE

Note These APIs are deprecated. Applications should use the Sample Grabber filter or implement a custom filter to get data from a DirectShow filter graph. This sample code reads a file and renders it to a primary DirectDraw surface. For brevity, this example performs minimal error checking. #include <stdio.h> #include "ddraw.h" // DirectDraw interfaces #include "mmstream.h" // multimedia stream interfaces #include "amstream.h" // DirectShow multimedia stream interfaces #include "ddstream.h" // DirectDraw multimedia stream interfaces HRESULT RenderStreamToSurface(IDirectDrawSurface *pSurface, IMultiMediaStream *pMMStream) { IMediaStream *pPrimaryVidStream; IDirectDrawMediaStream *pDDStream; IDirectDrawStreamSample *pSample; RECT rect; DDSURFACEDESC ddsd; HRESULT hr; hr = pMMStream->GetMediaStream(MSPID_PrimaryVideo, &pPrimaryVidStream); if (FAILED(hr)) { return hr; } pPrimaryVidStream->QueryInterface(IID_IDirectDrawMediaStream, (void **)&pDDStream); ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd); hr = pDDStream->GetFormat(&ddsd, NULL, NULL, NULL); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { rect.top = rect.left = 0; rect.bottom = ddsd.dwHeight; rect.right = ddsd.dwWidth; hr = pDDStream->CreateSample(pSurface, &rect, 0, &pSample); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { pMMStream->SetState(STREAMSTATE_RUN); while (pSample->Update(0, NULL, NULL, NULL) == S_OK) { // Empty loop. } pMMStream->SetState(STREAMSTATE_STOP); pSample->Release(); } } pDDStream->Release(); pPrimaryVidStream->Release(); return hr; } HRESULT RenderFileToMMStream( const char * szFileName, IMultiMediaStream **ppMMStream, IDirectDraw *pDD) { if (strlen(szFileName) > MAX_PATH) { return E_INVALIDARG; } IAMMultiMediaStream *pAMStream; HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_AMMultiMediaStream, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_IAMMultiMediaStream, (void **)&pAMStream); if (FAILED(hr)) { return hr; } WCHAR wPath[MAX_PATH + 1]; MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, szFileName, -1, wPath, MAX_PATH + 1); pAMStream->Initialize(STREAMTYPE_READ, AMMSF_NOGRAPHTHREAD, NULL); pAMStream->AddMediaStream(pDD, &MSPID_PrimaryVideo, 0, NULL); pAMStream->AddMediaStream(NULL, &MSPID_PrimaryAudio, AMMSF_ADDDEFAULTRENDERER, NULL); hr = pAMStream->OpenFile(wPath, 0); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { hr = pAMStream->QueryInterface(IID_IMultiMediaStream, (void**)ppMMStream); } pAMStream->Release(); return hr; } int __cdecl main(int argc, char *argv[]) { if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage : showstrm movie.ext\n"); exit(0); } DDSURFACEDESC ddsd; IDirectDraw *pDD; IDirectDrawSurface *pPrimarySurface; IMultiMediaStream *pMMStream; CoInitialize(NULL); DirectDrawCreate(NULL, &pDD, NULL); pDD->SetCooperativeLevel(GetDesktopWindow(), DDSCL_NORMAL); ddsd.dwSize = sizeof(ddsd); ddsd.dwFlags = DDSD_CAPS; ddsd.ddsCaps.dwCaps = DDSCAPS_PRIMARYSURFACE; pDD->CreateSurface(&ddsd, &pPrimarySurface, NULL); HRESULT hr = RenderFileToMMStream(argv[1], &pMMStream, pDD); if (SUCCEEDED(hr)) { RenderStreamToSurface(pPrimarySurface, pMMStream); pMMStream->Release(); } pPrimarySurface->Release(); pDD->Release(); CoUninitialize(); return 0; } HERE IS SOME SAMPLE CODE I FOUND http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd407351(v=vs.85).aspx HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE HOW TO US IT. I AM THINKING I CAN COPY AND PASTE IT IN THE SOURCE CODE PRIOR TO COMPILLING IT AND IT WILL WORK. PLEASE ADVICE. AND FOR THE LAMES WHO ARE REPLYING JUST TO GET POINTS PLEASE SAVE IT. THANKS YOU IN ADVANCE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SINCERLY CONTRIBUTING. APPRECIATE IT

stupid. got annoyed too quick.

I was looking at QIK a couple days ago and found Google Hangout which allows for streaming video (up to eight? people) plus it'll post to Google+ Not exactly sure how best to implement this. Fred

sorry for the all capitals I am a newbie and admit that it is lame in that context. Didn't mean to be an asshole. Apologies @ fred andravyd. Refocusing just trying to figure this thing out.

I just like typing and writing in caps, sort of a weird thing I guess

@ fred I understand the tech u r referring to but I need to implement this in the app I am developing. Plus I'm a light weight so details with explanation like a childrens book helps. Thanks in advance to everyone, I appreciate your input

No worries @SILILOM, let's just say we were having a bad day if that's ok?
