DirectShow Samples
This section provides descriptions of the Microsoft® DirectShow® samples that are part of the Microsoft® DirectX® Media Software Development Kit (SDK). These samples demonstrate how to write DirectShow filters and applications that use them. To build the samples, you must install Microsoft® Visual C++® version 5.x or later.
DirectShow provides filters and samples as part of the DirectX Media SDK. A filter is supplied as binary code only. Samples include source code. Some samples are filters and some are applications. Some of the sample filters are registered and appear in the Filter Graph Editor when you choose Insert Filters from the Graph menu. Other sample filters must be built and registered before they will appear in the Filter Graph Editor.
The sample paths in this article refer to the default sample directories created when you install the DirectX Media SDK.
The following sections describe the purpose and functionality of each sample filter or sample application.
Samples by Category
- Source Filters
