[Good DirectShow filter for Imgburn under Vista x64.]

Thank you so much! That FILE_SHARE_WRITE flag was exactly what we needed to find, it's working correctly now! We all are very appreciative for your help!

[Good DirectShow filter for Imgburn under Vista x64.]

Ah, I found the problem... it's not just x64 OS's that it happens on

 

For some reason the directshow filter opens the file for read + write access and that causes some of my code to fail because it's only allowing for programs to open the file with read access - well, I don't want them writing to the file whilst I'm using it!

 

The changes I've made to get this working were actually the same as I did a couple of days ago for another bit as a result of my learning something new about the inner workings of the 'CreateFile' API function.

 

So basically you'll have to wait for 2.4.3.0 to burn APE files when using the radlight filter

 

My senior project group has been running into a similar problem. We're trying to make a bittorrent client which downloads files linearly from beginning to end rather than grabbing the least common pieces first as most clients do. We're then trying to play the video using directshow as it downloads so that it will appear to the user that the video is being streamed. Unfortunately, when directshow opens the video for read and write access, it prevents our bittorrent client from writing to the file, causing our program to fail. If you could tell me how you got directshow to open with read only access my whole group would be very grateful, thanks!
