Using the DMO Test Application

The DirectX SDK includes a DMO test application, named DMOTest. The test application can help verify that a DMO meets the DMO specifications. The application is installed in the Bin\DXUtils directory, under the SDK root directory. If you develop a DMO, you should include the DMO test application as part of your testing.

To use DMOTest, you must generate test data for the DMO. The SDK includes a DirectShow filter for this purpose. It is located in the DLL file DMODump.dll. You will need to register the filter with the Regsvr32 utility.

Details about the test application can be found in the DMOTest application help. In the application, choose Contents from the Help menu. The Help includes step-by-step instructions for generating test data and running the test application.
