Build a File Playback Graph

GraphEdit can automatically build a filter graph that plays a file. The file can be a local file, or a file located at a URL.

To build a graph that plays a local file:

1. On the File menu, click Render Media File.
2. Select the file.
3. Click Open.

Note  You can also drag a file icon to the GraphEdit application window, or to the GraphEdit program icon.

To build a graph the plays a file at a URL:

1. On the File menu, click Render URL.
2. In the dialog box that appears, type or select the URL.
3. Click Open.

These two commands are equivalent to calling the IGraphBuilder::Render file method.
