MPEG-2 Kernel Media Types
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
For several MPEG-2 media type GUIDs, the Windows DDK defines names that differ from the names used in DirectShow. The following table shows the DirectShow names (defined in Ksuuids.h) and the corresponding kernel-mode names (defined in Ksmedia.h).
