Question

my is too record video from webcam using DirectshowLib and c# but during video recoding video preview is also be shown so for this i have done following steps

1.i got the available video device

1. init. IFilterGrapth2 object by using Graph = (IFilterGraph2)new FilterGraph();

2. init. ICaptureGraphBuilder2 object by using captureGraph = (ICaptureGraphBuilder2)new CaptureGraphBuilder2();

4.filter grapth is set to ICaptureGraphBuilder2 object captureGraph.SetFiltergraph(Graph);

1. and then added soursefilterformoniker() and outputfilename()

The full code is as below.it does not any error but it opens preview window separately;i want to show preview on picture box..

how to preview window in picturebox?

Answer 1

I have done this using VMR9. I added a VMR9 filter in the Graph. and many more.
