DirectShow Samples (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
Compact 2013 includes sample code to help you develop applications that use the DirectShow middleware architecture to play multimedia content. The following list shows some general code samples. For examples of code that uses DirectShow filters, see DirectShow filter samples; for examples of code that uses DirectShow player applications, see DirectShow player samples.
- Code samples for all DirectShow base classes are located in %WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\SDK\SAMPLES\DSHOW\BASECLASSES. For information about DirectShow base classes, see Base Classes.
- Sample DirectShow Video Window Program provides sample code that renders a video file named Test.avi inside an application window.
- DirectShow Events Sample Code shows how to respond to events that occur in a DirectShow application.
- Sample DirectShow Playback Program contains sample code for a console application that plays a file.
DirectShow filter samples
The following table shows the code samples related to DirectShow filters. The source code for these samples is located in %WINCEROOT%\PUBLIC\DIRECTX\SDK\SAMPLES\DSHOW\FILTERS.
Sample |
Description |
|---|---|
Graphical Ball Sample DirectShow Filter (Ball.dll) |
Source filter that produces a continuous stream of images that show a colored ball bouncing around the window. The color of the ball depends on the bit depth of the current display device. Because it is effectively a live video stream, this filter does not provide any seeking interfaces. |
Write-to-Disk Sample DirectShow Filter (Dump.dll) |
Generic renderer that can be attached to any data stream that uses an IMemInputPin Interface data transport. The renderer writes the contents of each sample, including its properties, into a file. This file is specified when the filter is created. |
EZRGB24 Sample DirectShow Filter (Ezrgb24.dll) |
Special-effects filter that only works with RGB24 formats. It can be inserted between video decoders and renderers to apply various effects to the decompressed video stream. For example, it can apply red, green, or blue color filters, posterise, and create graying effects. The effect can be applied to the stream at a given start and end media time, which are defined by using the filter's IIPEffect interface. |
Infinite Tee Sample DirectShow Filter (Inftee.dll) |
Pass-through filter. It has a single input pin and can have many output pins. It starts with one output pin and each time an output pin connects, the filter creates another output pin. Any data samples that the input pin receives are sent down each output pin. Each output pin has a separate thread to avoid delivery-blocking the filter's thread. |
DirectShow player samples
The following table shows the code samples related to DirectShow player applications. The source code for these samples is located in %WINCEROOT%\PUBLICROOT\DIRECTX\SDK\SAMPLES\DSHOW\PLAYERS.
