Playing IMPLAY Video programmatically

Dear all,

I composed a movie using WriteVideo after capturing the still-pictures through Getframe. Now I want run the movie programmatically in IMPLAY, rather than directly on implayer's GUI.

I searched all sources but to avail. There is no documentation available about IMPLAY.

I tried using Movie command. There were two problems, that I can not merge audio file and secondly, it was prone to frame size errors when no of frames are more.

I want to 'play', 'stop','pause' implay video by the commands from command window. How that would be possible?. Any help would be appreciated

I realize that this was asked years ago, but for the sake of other users: You can control IMPLAY programmatically, if you have access to its handle. E.g., by running:

myHandle = implay('someVideo.avi');

Using this handle, you can access the GIU's PlaybackControlsTimer object as follows:

myControls = myHandle.DataSource.Controls;

At this point you can call 'play', 'stepFwd' and others to control the video. E.g., in order to advance the player one frame forward, use:

stepFwd(myControls)
