I'm completely new to DirectShow. I want to develop a simple Hello World app [let's say one that would play an .avi file]. But each and every sample I found so far doesn't work [can't find one or another .h file]. Does anyone know whether I need to install some SDK prior to developing DirectShow Apps? I need to use C++ and my IDE is Visual Studio 2008. Thank you

And yes, you will want to download the (huge) platform sdk if you want to work with DS in c++. DS is now considered a part of the OS, so you need all the OS headers to work with it.

well, since I'm here... I want to capture&process video frames from a Windows Mobile 6.1 device camera. I read that you can not do this from C#, but only by using C++. My C++ & COM memories have been buried a long time ago, so before I get to work, I wanted to know whether you can access frames from C# [which I did, but on a Desktop].
Thank you

ok, let me rephrase that. i have a pocket pc with windows mobile 6.1. i want to be able to intercept frames continuously while using the camera in video mode. the DirectShow API for Windows provides the Sample Grabber filter, but there's no equivalent filter in the Shared WM 6 and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Library. from your knowledge:), does DirectShow.NET provides this functionality? thanks.. and whet your appetite;)

The forum you are posting in is for c# and vb.net programmers who are using DirectShow. For c++, you are better off posting to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsdirectshowdevelopment/threads

Well, since I do not now nor have I ever owned a "Windows Mobile 6.1 device camera," I am ill suited to answering this question.
That said, if c# will run on this device at all, it seems likely you should be able to use DSN on it to perform a capture.
