Quote: "s there a dll out there to convert the image on the screen to (i think) .mpeg format? (for use on tv, i heard its format is .mpeg)"
not that i know of, your best to convert to avi first(there was a blitz dll port a while ago which did this) then you would have to encode it to mpeg
if your talking about dvds then its vobs, which is like a mpeg just with subtle differences, with some programs(especially the ones using windows to handle the playing of it, you can usually just rename it to mpeg)

if you mean when the proghram is not running, then you can use a call (in c++) to open the file as binary, if you mean when it is running then with out code inject no. if you want code injection then search codeproject.com as it is too difficult to explain in detail in very few lines

you can find them in the windows api documentation, it will say what header it requires which is often just the same name as the dll just with a different extension, or you could use the api viewer - just google for it
