Video time control (FFWD REV) ActiveX property?

[sonicpursuit]

I am trying to marry some recorded data to video (WMV, MP4, AVI.. whatever) using either WMP or Apple QT activeX objects within a vi.

How can I reference the "elapsed time" of the video (either read or write) so that I can sync the two together? I want to able to drag cursor/slider and have the current channel values at that particular video frame (FFWD REV etc)

The standard activeX properties don't seem to include this?

Or is there another way (I don't have vision)

Many thanks.

Hi sonicpursuit

The access to the elapsed time as you have found is not available using the standard Active x control. A possible work around would be to find an Active x controller (that is using another video player) that gives access to the elapsed time.  In this case it would be possible to then call this in labVIEW.

The syncing of video to data is made possible in vision by splitting the video up frame by frame making the time deterministic.  In so doing allowing dater to be synced to the exact frame that is being called at that point.
