Mplayer Frontend to TBitmap

[mercury]

Mplayer can embedding to any window using “-wid”. But you can’t change the graph it show.
So I am looking is there any way to let Mplayer send the graph to a TBitmap before show on the screen. Then I can modify or analyze the graph.
Any idea?

Thank you very much.

Maybe I can create an empty handle. Give it to Mplayer, then hook it.
Is that possible?

Create new, hidden window. Then grab its context and transfer it to TBitmap or similar class.

That's not working under Windows XP and GTK. Only Windows 7 and up.
And, how to know what time to grab? There is no callback function.

I want modify the graph in my program, not Mplayer. And real-time.

I tried, in GTK read from "Canvas" got nothing.
Even in Windows, the window which you give the handle to Mplayer must be show.
If the window is hide, nothing can be read from "Canvas".
