Can someone assist me with something. Im helping out a guy I go to church with do a video. basically he wants to run it for 10 minutes with the counter running in the corner but at the same time run music, jpegs, and mpegs where applicable thorught out. ok this part seems easy here is where it gets hard. It would need to read a config file that tells what text to put up as overlay and what videos and jpegs to play because this changes so much. The program that he is running that will call this is called media shout. I have seen it run flash and shockwave programs so i am Sure it would work.
