This section describes some advanced aspects of video capture in DirectShow. Most of the issues described in this section are automatically handled by the ICaptureGraphBuilder2 interface. However, the information here may be useful if you need to troubleshoot a video capture application. You should also read this section if your application builds a custom capture graph of some kind and you find that ICaptureGraphBuilder2 does not suit your needs.
It is possible to build a video capture graph entirely using IGraphBuilder Interface methods. You can also combine them, using ICaptureGraphBuilder2 for some tasks and IGraphBuilder for others.
This section contains the following topics:
- Handling Repaint Events in Video Capture
- Working with Pin Categories
- Using the Smart Tee Filter
- Replacing the WMV ASF Writer with a custom filter
