Problems playing back video using DirectShow in Full Screen!

I'm having a problem playing video back in full screen.  The deal is that the interface for the game I'm working on tries to play a video in full screen when the user clicks on the credits button.  Now the weird part is that the video ALWAYS plays reliably in windowed mode, but as soon as we test it in full screen mode, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.  Has anyone run into this problem and if so, has anyone figured a way around it   I would be so appreciative of anyone who can help me!  Thank you :)

    Which renderer are you using   Is the video mode changing   Have you tried to set the size of the video the screen size versus using full screen mode

    Thank you Douglas, I'll try that. :)



  • StubbornNoob

    Which video renderer Are you using the default renderer in windowed mode and using IVideoWindow::put_FullScreenMode to show it full screen

    You should use windowless mode of VMR7 or VMR9 and set the size to the same as the screen resolution (full screen).

    We're using Direct3D 9.0c for rendering and DirectShow from the Platform SDK. We don't change the video mode and we still have that problem.
