New Sample: XNA GS 3.1 Video Support
Jun 11th
You probably heard by now that XNA Game Studio 3.1 is out.
After a quick download, uninstalling 3.0 and installing 3.1, I quickly put together this sample that shows how to use the new support for videos.
More info on the sample’s page, here.
Or, if you’re in a hurry, here’s the direct link to the download: VideoSample.zip

Ziggyware.com is one of the best sites for XNA resources, including Articles, Tutorials, News and even an Image of The Day section where you can look at what other people are doing.
But that’s not all. One of the things that sets Ziggyware apart from others is that about two or three times each year, it holds a “XNA Articles Competition”. The result of this competition usually takes form in lots of top-quality tutorials and articles about stuff you can do with XNA. Ziggyware wants to repay the talented people that make these tutorials, so he gives them prizes. Because of this, from time to time, there’s a call for donations, and now is such a time.
If you like to use the articles on Ziggyware, and if you want to help the site grow, prosper and continue to provide a constant stream of good XNA articles, you now have the chance to do so, by going on Ziggy’s site, and seeing how you can help.
Status Update
Jun 4th
It’s been a long time since my last post, and I’m sorry about that.
However, I’m currently busy with finishing my Bachelor’s Degree Project for my university, so until that is done, there probably won’t be any more updates. After that, I’ll get back to XNA, and hopefully I’ll release more content and samples.
Until then, have fun with your programming!
