Directshow Programming [VC++]

This page illustrates how to use Microsoft Directshow SDK. Directshow SDK provides APIs to manage video and audio.

Each function will be illustrated using a sample code. I will try to keep each sample code as simple as possible. I hope the information in this page helps you. Good luck, and happy programming !

Preparing Directshow

Directshow is a subset of Platform SDK. First of all, you would have to download Platform SDK from Micorsoft MSDN.

Please note that Directshow was a subset of DirectX SDK before. However, this has changed on April 2005 (2005/04), and is no longer a subset of DirectX SDK.

After downloading and installing Directshow, please be sure that you have configured an appropreate library path and include path for directshow.
