<p>Direct3D is a Microsoft supplied 3D graphics API. It is used to drive your 3D graphics card. You can use Direct3D to do fast alpha-plane controlled transparent video playback (see <b>"ExamAlph.C" and "DX8RAD3D.CPP"</b> for a DirectX 8 example). You always use Direct3D to display your video frames on the Xbox - there is no 2D blitting API available yet. The Xbox supports linear, non-power-of-2 textures, though, so this won't hurt your video playback at all. You can read more about Direct3D at the Microsoft <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/">DirectX</a> website. </p>
