Hi

I have tried playing using different controls .But still there is gap between the two video.After each video completes i am clearing the graph using Marshal.ReleaseComObject(graph),graph=null. I think by releasing the com objects there seems a gap .But with out releasing this a flickering occurs for the tranaparent form kept over the video .
To avoid this flickering i used marshal.ReleaseComObject after each video.Is there any other way to avoid this gap .I need to play video continously without any gap?

If we are not releasing this components ,the trnaparent form flickers .

Is it possible.

The answer to this question has not changed since I last told you. You need to have the other one preloaded so you can play it in a different control the moment the other one ends, or pay the price of waiting for it to be ready to play.
