DirectX plugins

[Jon Lech Johansen]

I have modified vlc so it will compile with MS' C compiler.
The zip is available at http://nanocrew.net/vlc/vlc-snapshot-20010518-00-w32.zip
I'm going to clean up the changes before I send in a patch.

There's also a binary in the zip.

I had to rewrite the window & msg part of the DirectX plugin in order for it to
work. The window was being created by one thread, while the messages where being
retrieved in vout_Manage which is a different thread. Under win32 the message
loop must be in the thread which created the window.

I don't really have any idea yet on how to do this... but it seemed to me that the only way to do the key negotiation with the drive is to use adaptec WINASPI (which of course is not present on all Windows, eg. 2000 and NT I think don't have them)

Under 2000 (possibly NT as well) you can do key negotiation using DeviceIoControl().
I'll probably have a look at dvd input on win32 on sunday.
