VB?! Very, very unlikely... I would not waste any time trying to find it. Do be serious.

but anyway, thank you so much..

Well, this solution is not really in VB.NET, it simply uses ffmpeg, which is a good thing. It is written in C. No matter, there are no chances to find a solution in VB.NET anyway, I think. It could be P/Invoked. So, I voted 5. At least it practically works.

[Answering a follow-up question about language]

I cannot suggest the language for you to use as it depends on so many factors. I can only say what people use to solve some serious problems; in this way, you would have more chances to find a solution. In this field, you will find most of the codes in C++ or C, probably much less in C#. Just a fact of life, without discussing of real benefits or downsides.

Now, the interesting solution found by Walt is also C (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFmpeg[^], http://ffmpeg.org/[^]), but you can use P/Invoke to import the methods in you .NET project.
