C++ DirectShow Video and Audio capture
I have finally managed to drop working with VFW after several problems I have encountered during the application development.
Thanks to StackOverflow, I am now aware that VFW is obsolete and wish to switch to DShow, to let my application work with Vista/W7.
Unfortunately, the work has been made and application has been shipped to the client, but as soon as we realized we have troubles with frame rates on Vista / W7 - we decided to rewrite the video class and use DirectShow to establish a good audio/video capture engine for webcameras.
This will be tricky, as we never coded with DShow, and right now we are looking for few specific examples of how to:
Connect to a selected webcamera
similar to: capDriverConnect
Set camera resolution to 640x480 and RGB24 format ( we need to do RGB24 to YUV420 for each frame )
similar to: capSetVideoFormat / capCaptureSetSetup
Set audio capturing for this webcamera
similar to: capSetAudioFormat
Register two callbacks:
similar to: capSetCallbackOnVideoStream
similar to: capSetCallbackOnWaveStream
Be able to show a preview window somewhere on parent window
similar to: capPreview
Perform Start/Stop operation when needed
Perform drawing to the actual frame
similar to:
SetBitmapBits(CameraInput.GetFrameBitmap(),w*h*3,vdhdr->lpData); // draw something with gdi+ GetBitmapBits(CameraInput.GetFrameBitmap(),w*h*3,vdhdr->lpData);//set back the frame with data
All of the above was already made with VFW, but as I wrote before we unfortunately need to switch do Direct Show.
Is there anyone who could help us out achieving a class that could rescue us from months of studying Direct Show ?
Your best bet for examples will be the ones from Microsoft.
Your questions are still phrased in terms of VFW so it's hard to answer them as written. For example, in DirectShow you wouldn't register a callback for to encode a video frame. Instead, you'd develop an encoder filter that would receive data from the capture source.
As an alternative, if you're only targeting Vista and later, there is the Microsoft Media Foundation. I have no experience with it so I don't know how the learning curve compares to DirectShow.
I'd suggest you to build a graph on GraphEdit using FFDshow filters.
EditGraph is making a demonstration of building a graph on DirectShow
I don't think you need you build the filter class by your own. After you'll build the graph and you'd be able to watch the video using GraphEdit. Implementing the graph is a very simple task.
