Synchronising with vertical refresh in Windows

SDL Development
1

Hi,

I’m working on an SDL application to display video with superimposed text
and graphics, using the libavcodec and compiling with MSVC 8. I’m
experiencing problems with flicker on the text & graphics, which I’m sure is
to do with a lack of vertical refresh sync.

Can anyone either advise how to synchronise in Windows, or point me in the
right direction of a sample app. which does this sort of thing?

Thanks,

Jayne.

Is this in fullscreen or windowed mode ?
Are you using SDL_DOUBLEBUF when you open your screen mode?–
