I am sometimes using a rework of earlier DxgiTakeSnapshot application for one specific purpose mentioned below. In addition to Desktop Duplication API, recent version of Windows offer a similar (in sense of acquisition of external video content) API: Windows.Graphics.Capture (hereinafter “WGC”), and the new rework is using this API to capture visual content as a…
There is a new API coming with Windows 11. Finally we will get well defined way to register virtual cameras (perhaps for applications built against Windows Media Foundation API, not DirectShow): MFCreateVirtualCamera. Creates a virtual camera object which can be used by the caller to register, unregister, or remove the virtual camera from the system.…

It surely passes some internal tests to make sure that software items meet requirements of the use cases required for internal products, but published work gives impression that there is noone left to care about API offerings to wide audience.

Video GPU vendors (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA) ship their hardware with drivers, which in turn provide hardware-assisted decoder for JPEG (also known as MJPG and MJPEG. and Motion JPEG) video in form-factor of a Media Foundation Transform (MFT). JPEG is not included in DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) 2.0 specification, however hardware carries implementation for the decoder.…

The technology itself started from Integrated graphics processing units which brought a “free” GPU into system. Such system equipped with an additional discrete card obtained two GPUs at a time and from certain point it was a challenge to not…

Surprisingly this has effect on Windows Media Foundation API in the part of available codecs (Media Foundation Transforms). Sample code: CoInitializeSecurity line in the code above removes the…
