C-Sharp/C# Media File info

Tyrrial

hey
can anyone help me get some info from a loaded Video Media file.
cant seem to get any more than the length and name and stuff from the FileInfo Class.
i need to get like how long it plays for, what point of playing is it at.. that sort of thing any one know?

The FileInfo class doesn't give that kind of information. It's just for telling you the size/path of a file, whether it's readonly or not etc and allows you to perform some basic operations on the file like copying etc.

There is no built in class to do what you want. Are you using another library/framework for playing/loading the video file? If so, it probably has ways of finding that information.

I'm using the QuartzTypeLib library to play the video..
not sure what to use to get the info i need but I'm working on it.
