Software

This is a summary of software presented on this website (esp. posted through blog some time ago).

There is an unfortunate problem with download links to old binaries and Subversion integration on the hosting. I moved the files to the mirror repository on GitHub

Table of contents (it’s quite a long list below):

• DirectShow Tools
• Media Foundation Tools
• Miscellaneous Tools
• Other
• Externally Hosted

DirectShow Tools

  • StressEvr – TBD
  • RenderInterlacedVideo – TBD
  • WindowsMediaCodecList – TBD

Media Foundation Tools

• MediaFoundationCaptureCapabilities – an utility to print out capabilities of video and audio capture devices available as media sources using Media Foundation API [Win32, x64]
• EnumerateTransforms – an utility to print out available Media Foundation Transform (MFT) capabilities [Source: Trac, Subversion]
• MediaFoundationVideoEncoderTransforms – basically an evolution of EnumerateTransforms application (see above) with focus on H.264 video encoding, with GUI and additional details [Win32, x64]
• MediaFoundationDesktopRecorder – screen video recorder based on DXGI Desktop Duplication API and Media Foundation including hardware H.264 video encoders where applicable [Win32, x64]
• MediaFoundationDxgiCapabilities – an utility to print out capabilities of objects exposed with DXGI API (adapters, outputs specifically), for technical details and with focus on Desktop Duplication (DD) API, and also Output Protection Manager (OPM) API [Win32, x64]
• Unsorted:
  • PrintVideoCaptureSourceMediaTypes – a command line version similar to MediaFoundationCaptureCapabilities with partially public source code

Miscellaneous Tools

• EmailTools – COM object (good for various COM-friendly environments including scripting) to send emails using SMTP, including secure TLS/SSL connections

• ManifestComDependency – managed registration-free COM manifest files, standalone and embedded [Win32, x64]
• NetInfo
• FilePropertyStore – an application that prints out file properties available through shell property handlers (esp. video, audio, image files etc.) [Win32, x64]
• IncrementBuild – an utility to update binary resource information automatically incrementing build version to be able to uniquely identify builds; integrates with Visual Studio C++ projects as a post-build event call [Win32, x64]
• AmaEncode – a latency measurement tool for AMD AMF H.264 and H.265/HEVC video encoders
• NvcEncode – a latency measurement tool for NVIDIA Video Codec SDK H.264 and H.265/HEVC video encoders
• Unsorted:
  • LogicalProcessorInformation
  • LoadCpu
  • LogStdOutput
  • LowLatencyWaveOutPlay
  • MonitorInformation
  • UpnpScanner
  • WaveOutMultiPlay
  • StressD2d
  • FileMappingVirtualAddress

Other

Other resources available on the website.

• Source code:
  • Trac entry point to public code (web friendly version);
  • Subversion entry point to code and binaries available to public (individual file download and SVN download);
• Software and tools:
  • Toolbox – Collection of pre-built utilities (including third party);
  • DHCP Server – DHCP server implemented in software, with a few perhaps untypical options. No longer developed even though still in good standing;
  • NTFS Links – Shell extension adding UI items to create junction points and hard links; obsolete.

Externally Hosted

• GraphStudioNext – open source evolution of GraphStudio, which is in turn a freeware replacement for GraphEdit, Windows SDK tool [Win32, x64 – built by me]
• mp4demux/mp4mux – a fork of GDCL MPEG-4 DirectShow filters
