What is the best way to play video file in Delphi?

Question

I need to play video file (using installed codecs) and get some file info (such as frame rate and length).

Answer 1

You can use DSPack. It is well tested and used and I have used it in a couple of projects. Works very well. It also has a wide range of features.

The updated version for Delphi 2010 can be downloaded here.

Oh and its free.

Answer 2

Try Mitov's VideoLab

Updated: I have previously installed Mitov's "Labs" version 3.9 on Delphi 2009 without problems. Check that you are using the correct link and contact the author if there are problems for Delphi 2010.
