Hi There,

Can anyone explain the difference between these two functions and what's their best usage? Thanks.

Im pretty sure that Create Video Surfaces was introduced for directX/Stationary PC type stuff.

I think it will try to load the surface into video memory for faster access, while Create surface will just make a surface in system memory.

In direct X when you alt tab or goto another application, theres the possibility that your surface will be lost and need to be refreshed. I believe CreateVideoSurface will handel this.
