Hello people,
                   I was looking for a solution to put transparent text over vedio. first I just created a simple lable and put it over media player control but when the movie playes it would disappear.
                                Then I created a transparent form and put text in it but using transparency reulted in jagged edges! I am unable to find a solution.Please suggest.
                                           Is there anyway to put transparent text over vedio (playing) Please le me know

what kind of video are you using? i mean, what component are you using, a custom control, or something like windows media player ocx?

Hello ,
         I'll be using Media player control.
I know that there is a property in the control of "captioning". What it does it just leave some balnk space below.I don't want that. I want the text to appear over the vedio (transparent ,crisp and smooth). That's it

try using OutText (or TextOut) api function. I thnig usage is
OutText something.hdc,x,y,"text",len(text)

try movie player pro activex that can text/image over video.
include vb sample
