Recompressing an AVI File for C

The following code demonstrates how to recompress an AVI file:

#define MAKE_MEDIA_PATH(pFileName) (TEXT("C:\\LEADTOOLS 18\\Media\\")TEXT(pFileName))


// define helper macros for using interfaces under C
#ifndef COBJMACROS
   #define COBJMACROS

#include "ltmm.h"

#include "resource.h"
#include <tchar.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>

// user defined message id used for conversion events
#define WM_CONVERTNOTIFY (WM_USER + 1000) 

//
// ConvertDlgProc
// starts the conversion process and provides status feedback
//
// controls: 
// IDC_CONVERTSTATUS - static control used for status messages
