UI

Any recommendations for programming a user interface? I'm programming in C++ with visual studio. should I be using openGl or direct X for the said interface?

I know this is a stupid question really, but i'm a little bit confused.

get Mac OS X.

You don't need a GUI when you have the command line.

NCurses.

Yeah thats pretty much all the coding I've done before all command line, but I'm trying to create a media player. So a little GUI is needed.

No it isn't.

It is for this program.

Use Interface Builder.app

Why would you want to make a media player? There are already many nicely featured players. If you don't know what interface to use, then how do you think you'll make a better player.

Use DirectShow(from DirectX) for rendering video/audio/media. OpenGL has different purposes such as 3D graphics. Do you understand how codecs even works in Windows? For Mac there is perian, and linux doesn't even have a proper multimedia framework, but there is the ffmpeg project which provides a great deal of codecs integrated in one library ( which can be used on windows too through ffdshow for example ).

Uni project, not aiming to make anything wonderful, just something that is capable of being used. I was planning on using DirectShow for actually playing the media, the aim of this is learning how things work, not making anything groundbreaking.

Would you suggest using directX for the interface?

USE LUNIX

read >>9 more carefully
>Use DirectShow(from DirectX)
The DirectShow framework is a DirectX component.

write an mplayer front-end

the command-line version is a real dog.

>Use DirectShow(from DirectX) for rendering video/audio/media
>video/audio/media
I think he read it perfectly fine; he didn't mention anything but the actual media.

What's up with all this Windows shit? GTFO.
