Ok, so I'm a geek and a programmer by profession.  Now I have a few interests out of the office and one of them is video, I've been fascinated with everything video for a long time now and so I took it upon myself to start playing around with .NET and video, namely AVI files.  Now I found some really good resources that helped me build a very simple AVI reader and allow me to render frames one at a time to a window.  This is of course a very simplistic approach but it can be expanded now thanks to the list of resources I found searching the web.

• AVI File Tutorial (Not .NET technically, but useful for VB developers)
• A Simple C# wrapper for the AviFile library
• Extract frames from video files
• Fast way to put image into RGB matrix
• Steganography IV - Reading and writing AVI files
• Motion detection algorithms
• Image processing lab in C#
• DirectShow.NET library

These resources have proven to be valuable to me in building my program, however ironically as it sounds, they don't all cover what I accomplished, that's going to be for another post.
