What can be used for a .net application to control video files (especially mts and m2ts)?

Question

I am trying to build an application which will be used for analysing video files; pause, play, slow forward/backward, go to time and get time.

I am trying to use MediaElement for Wpf. But it does not support slowing down the movie for some file types (like MTS, that I will use a lot).

What is the best way, or best control, or best library for this?

Answer 1

In Windows 7 .MTS files are readable through DirectShow via Media Foundation's MFSourceFilter and Media Foundation MP2demux filters (chances are that they can also be played through Media Foundation directly), and so you can play and otherwise control them through DirectShow.NET library.

Support for container formats and encodings depend on availability of underlying components, such as filters, including stock and third party, capable of dealing with these formats.
