As an appreciation of outstanding contributions in DShow/Media Foundation technical communities during the past year I was presented with the 2009 Microsoft® MVP Award, which I am very much pleased to receive.
In an intention to accompany the post with useful DirectShow related information, here is the link list of most important DirectShow resources on the Internet:
- Microsoft:
- DirectShow Reference (do not underestimate official documentation, it is well done and really covers minor but important details)
- DirectShow Development Forum
- Social:
- Resources online:
- Alessandro Angeli’s Programming FAQ – frequently asked questions and answers
- The March Hare’s DShow Site – links, downloads, information
- GDCL (Geraint Davies Consulting Ltd) by Geraint Davies – information and downloads, specifically popular for “bridge” solution (GMFBridge) for connecting multiple graphs
- Chris P.’s Code Samples – especially audio related
- Michel Roujansky, Multimedia & IT Consultant and Trainer – DirectX and DirectShow consulting
- DirectShow.NET Library – for those who prefer interfacing to DirectShow from managed code, in particular C# (as the .NET questions keep being posted to other places, while they should go directly there)
- Gabest’s Guliverkli Project – on SourceForge, a home of Media Player Classic and various filters
- Monogram Multimedia and Igor Jánoš – with GraphStudio, an important alternative to Windows SDK GraphEdit, and a home of useful DirectShow filters
- Non-DirectShow but related:
- Intel Integrated Performance Primitives Library – a library with basic media related functions built with performance in mind, provided with sample code that covers a wide range of existing multimedia algorithms and tasks
