hi all;
i’ve got a video player integrated into my app. My app creates a window
which gets passed to SDL via SDL_WINDOWID. this window is not maximized,
its not fullscreen.
i additionally set SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS and SDL_CENTERED as “100,100” and
"yes", respectively.
when i run the app with windib, the video appears correctly in the window
and all is fine (even though the env vars of SDL_VIDEO_WINDOW_POS and
SDL_CENTERED are ignored). except the player chews up close to 50% cpu on
a dual core 2GHz, w/2GB RAM.
When i run the app with directx driver, the video appears in the top left
hand corner of my screen and not in the window that I pass in. The
performance is close between 8 and 12%.
(BTW: I’m using FFmpeg to decode mpeg streams with mp2 audio… so the cpu
is more related to that than SDL… simply presenting as to why i want to
use Directx and not windib.
AND i’m rebuilding SDL.lib and SDL.dll on my machine).
Questions:
- Can anyone suggest why the video would appear in my app window
properly with WinDib and not with Directx ? and how i can rectify this
?? - also, something strange… the window in my app has the
Maximize/minimize disabled, its a little bigger than PAL 720x540. And
when the xxxx_SetVideoMode gets to point of repositioning the window,
it always bypasses it 'cause IsZoomed always returns true. And there
is a suspicious #define IsZoomed(HWND) 1 in SDL_sysevents.c but only
for WIN32_WCE (which i’m presuming is for WinCE). - so… anyone have success with direct rendering using SDL_WINDOWID
under DirectX, where the video does not show in the top left hand
corner of the screen (when not in fullscreen mode)? - there is a directx.h in the SDL code and i’ve got DirectX 9.0c SDK
installed on my machine… any reason why directx.h in windx5 ought to
be at 5.0?? - also, any thoughts on why IsZoomed might be returning true when the
window is actually not zoomed ??
any help appreciated.
