Is it possible to create an API call?

NTFSD

Hi,

I would like to create an API call to Play a video file.

BOOL PlayFile(
HANDLE hFile, // handle of file to read
LPVOID lpBuffer, // pointer to buffer that receives data
DWORD nNumberOfBytesToRead, // number of bytes to read per request
DWORD nRate // rate at which to read file
… // etc.
);

Is this possible and could someone suggest a starting point to help me get
started?
Would I implement this either as a filter driver or by modifying the fastfat
code that comes with the IFS kit?

Thanks for any advice,
Darragh Jones

DirectShow chapter of MSDN Library will help.
