migrating a video application
I have an existing video play application that was developed in VB6. It plays videos from a list on demand. The videos are always played on a projector so the video is played in the extended screen space created when an hdmi connector is plugged into the computer. This program had a limitation. It was desired to load a new video without going out of fullscreen and not have a delay so the next video would play immediately. But media player always goes out of full screen when a new video is loaded. In the original program, I solved this by simply stringing videos together in one giant file and simply pausing the video when needed. But this is a nightmare for preparing different lists. Ideally each video could be its own file. So, Im thinking here, is there a way to load two videos at once and switch one video into the display space then when needed instantly point the display space to the other (then while that video is playing another video would be loaded into the dormant one, sort of like a ping pong buffer). Remember this will occur in the extended (second screen ) space.
