Hi everyone,

I'm working in a project that uses a video as input. Today, since I don't know any decoders that works fine with "C++ Visual Studio", I'm opening a totally uncompressed file (1GB per 10 seconds of video). So, I'm gona convert my videos to any format that keeps the quality/resolution and decode it in my project. It is supposed to be very very simple, but I just couldn't find a way to do it yet...
Does anyone here know any kind of video decoder library in C++ that works in Visual studio? It would be very helpful if it had an usage example (even better if it had a VS2008 project :-) ). I've already tried FFMpeg, but their samples are always too old (incompatible to the library versions available for download) or for Linux (several dependencies, missing headers), and I just could not build their samples... I've downloaded also the free mpeg-2 decoder from mssg, but the code is even older, and as I recall, that format had some quality restrictions.

If it helps, I'm using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2008.
