Is it possbile to play a file from the memory without caching it on the HDD?

[zEr0]

hmmm K3nny post you some examples,

and reply to your answer

you can anything put into memory and than do it what you want - crypt, decrypt or anything else

and it's can be anything what you want
video, document, music, pictures ...... (it's only numbers in memory)

but maybe some problem you can meet, video file is huge file of bytes so you will read it sequencially to memory after packets and decrypt it and send it to some media dll or ActiveX or driver or ...... hmmmm

i have the same idea to my private project, but i will have only MP3 or OGG files, so i can load it whole to memory

(256Kb will be enough for all) said some unknown person from some unknown firm

Provide an IStream interface and work with WMP?
