OS/2 multimedia provides support to OS/2 Presentation Manager applications for controlling playback and recording of motion video. Playback of video can be performed in either a default window or an application window. Recording can be performed using video capture hardware devices with appropriate device driver support. The digital video device can also be used to capture still image (bitmap) data from video capture hardware or previously recorded motion video files.
This section describes digital video functions and provides examples using media control interface string commands.
