Ok, but is there a single point in execution before the codecs are called? I am wondering if I can have the program Bar called at this point.

Well, I think it depends of the codec (I am not familiar with multimedia programming). But I am imagining that the code looks something like: my_movie = new_coded_movie("/path/to/file"); my_movie.play(); Both new_coded_movie and play are function implemented in the codec library (but this depends on the exact codec and programming framework). So no, I would say that there is not a single point where the codecs are called. -- Alexandru Juncu ROSEdu http://rosedu.org
