Hey I was wondering if it is possible to embed videos into a Visual Basic program and how I should do it. I'm pretty certain it is possible since you can import files and read them, and even play audio media. Thanks in advance for any help

You can use the Windows Media Player API to do anything it can.
This will tell you how.

Does anyone know how Prezi (The fancy presentation software) is made ? I need to create an application with a module that includes some graphical features like in Prezi.
I'm talking specifically about the graphical library.
I have been looking to DirectX or XNA but I'm not sure if this would be the right choice...
Any help would be much appreciated :) !
Cheers in advance.
I might not fully understand the "graphical library", but I think the answer you're looking for is that Prezi presentations are rendered in Flash, you can probably "embed" them in your application, are they are available on their website through Flash, or locally on your computer without a browser, with a Flash player.
I need to capture video from the webcam and save to file(mp4 format). what is best way to do this using C#.net 4.0 application?
Are there any solutions which doesn't involve WIA(Windows Image Acquisition) / DirectShow? Or do i need to use either one of them?
I know a third party toolkit named leadtools that might help you. This toolkit uses the DirectShow's filters and codecs to capture videos from webcams. Also, it provides easy ways manipulate the captured videos and save them with many formats including the MP4. For more information, you can check this Tutorial
I am trying to make a basic application which show my track on the map while walking. Is there any tutorial or source code.

I am not at all an iOS developer, just never learned. However, I know that iOS has a KMLViewer that might be useful. Otherwise you will likely have to parse the KML as XML and then figure out what to do with it.
I am currently trying to use the tracks located on an iPod (not synchronized with the computer I use), to create a specific playlist.
Is it possible to have a playlist/source that represents a non-synchronized iPod?
I have heard that reading music from an iPod without synchronizing it is possible, but have not experienced it. If so, it would probably be represented within iTunes as a playlist. Does anyone know?
The second question would be: is there a way to control it through COM? (I use Python, but am used to transform from other languages)
After a small research, I ended up on this, but that's all, and I do not know this language...

As part of test automation framework building, I need to record the activities done by the user in a video.
Since i could not find a way to record a video directly in vb, i opted to capture a sequence of screen shots (print screens) and then convert it to a streaming video.
Please suggest a way to do the same.
thanks,
pkrg
maybe you can just run another program behind your application.
there are several programs like that.
it is not a professional way but easy way to do this... because probably these programs have already optimized their algorithms...
making avi with jpegs:
there are such a programs that do this too...
again you can search for it..
You can automate Windows Media Encoder there are some samples for C# and VB.NET in the SDK
I would recommend you to use CamStudio to record user activities of your program. It is also open-source.
if you want to roll your own, then

Shows several ways to call windows api, to caputure the screen or parts of. Still I think you will have problems with the mouse cursor though. After capturing the screen you will have to draw the cursor in the correct position.
