I''ve figured out how to play cutscenes using DirectShow, and I can actually play mp3''s with DirectShow also, but I cannot figure out how to create and use the DirectShow resources for both movies AND music. Do I need separate graphs and mediacontrollers for each, or can they share? They will never be playing at the same time. I''ve tried creating separate graphs, events and mediacontrollers for the music, but it always crashes after about a half second of music. PLEASE HELP! This is my first game ever and it is so close to being finished, I just want to get it done. Thank you, Todd M. Gillissie
