Video Renderer

The Video Renderer filter is a generic video renderer that you can connect to any video transform filter that produces decompressed video data. This filter has its own plug-in distributor in the filter graph manager, which enables applications to set and retrieve properties on the filter by calling the corresponding interface methods on the filter graph manager. Most other Microsoft® DirectShow® filters are not visible to applications in this manner.

The Video Renderer filter uses DirectX® methods, if the video card supports them. Full-screen rendering is enabled from the filter graph manager, which automatically switches between the Video Renderer and the Full Screen Renderer when appropriate; you need not include the Full Screen Renderer in the filter graph beforehand.
