Hi all,

I am fairly new to C# and WPF but I am super excited by the possibilities!

I am currently experiencing an interesting problem with my project. Basically I have a MediaElement that displays a series of videos or images with transition effects between each of them. When I display images, the memory usage of my PC ranges from between approx 80MB for a 70KB jpg image to 300MB for a 1MB jpg image, but when I display a 4MB wmv video the memory usage is around the 80MB range. My question is this: Is the MediaElement specifically optimised for video (which is really just a series of images?) and still images suffer performance hits because of this optimisation? Or is something else at work here?

I would be grateful for any insights you may have, and thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
darkagn
