Hi,
I have the DirectX SDK (April 2006) downloaded and installed.
But I don't see any DirectShow lib or .h inside.
Frankly, there is no DirectShow in that package.
Am I right? What can I do to fix that problem?
I need DirectShow.
Thankls mates.

> But I don't see any DirectShow lib or .h inside.

Check out the FAQ at http://tmhare.mvps.org/

Thanks, 
Good link..

But, I thought that it should be included in PSDK and I downloaded MS PSD of 
April 2006.
And I don't see any directshow libs either.

Help!!!

Thanks

What libs are you looking for?

If you are looking for the base classes, MS doesn't distribute the lib for 
them.  You must build them yourself.

No no no..

Listen.. I downloaded PSDK for SP2.. no any directshow header file..
It's called - Windows XP SP2 Platform SDK
No any reference to directshow in PSDK directory..
I guess that PSDK is the addition to previous SDK where DirectShow is 
already present.

Am I right?

That is not the correct PSDK.  As you can see on my site, you need the
April 2005 PSDK or later.  In your original post, you wrote you downloaded
the April 2006 PSDK.  Is that correct?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0BAF2B35-C656-4969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB

If so, the libs and h files should be in the normal lib and include
folders, not in a specific dshow folder.

Yes, April 2006...
I had checked it 10 times - no one lib or h similar to that matter.
Not even a sample.
No quartz or dshow or whatever.
That's why I'm beating my forehead of this forum.
Guess i need to dload 2005 one first and later reinstall 2006 over again.
Right?

I don't think so but I'm not certain because I haven't installed the April
2006 PSDK myself.  However, IIRC, there was a recent post in the ../video
newsgroup from someone who had a question on compiling with the April 2006
PSDK but had the dshow headers and libs.

It may be that the dshow headers and libs are an option you need to check
when installing the PSDK that is not checked by default.

Let us know if you figure it out.

Unfortunately not.

EXTRAS contains the DirectSound only.

There is no DirectShow in that April' library.

The only way is Vfw.h (Video For Windows)

Not the DirectX SDK Extras, the April 2006 Platform SDK options when
installing it.

As alternatives, you can download either the April 2005 PSDK or the DirectX
Summer 2004 download to get dshow.  As mentioned on my site, there are
advantages to downloading the old DirectX SDK since it has more samples.

sorry, was sleepy..
of course PSDK.. NO DIRECTSHOW in April PSDK for SP2..
In DirectX PSDK it's out either.
Think 2006 PSDK adds 2005 PSDK (idea 2005 for SP1 and 2006 corrections for 
SP2).. I wrote it two posts above.
Gonna go to dload 2005.
Regards

Also I have one question:

The PSDK dload link from TMH site redirects me to Windows® Server 2003 SP1 
Platform SDK Web Install.
Could you give me an advice what is the correct package for Win XP SP2?
And I'm VS2005 user.
Don't want to mess with my system. Really need your advice.

Thanks

Really tired with that M$ corporation download tricks.

Just downloaded Windows® Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK Full Download
Super new 2006 March version - second cab file is wrong in cab-sequence.
Bad archive.

Now go Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK table of content 
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sdkintro/sdkintro/contents_of_the_platform_sdk.asp)

and don't see any DirectShow refs.

Will load in another 400M vainly.

Help!

I already told you that it contains the dshow SDK:

The "Windows Server 2003 SP 1 Platform SDK" is the April 2005 Edition of the 
Platform SDK. There is no newer version that has been released. The naming 
is a bit confusing, but this SDK does in fact target *ALL* supported 
Operating Systems not just Windows Server 2003 SP 1 (it is synced to OS 
releases, hence the naming). This was the first release that included 
DirectShow, which synced up with the DirectX SDK (April 2005) release which 
removed it. All subsequent releases of the Direct SDK have not contained 
DirectShow libs, samples, or headers although the REDIST components remain 
in Direct Setup as part of the DirectX SDK (these bits are only needed for 
OS version previous to XP SP 2).

There is a Beta version of the next iteration of the Platform SDK, now 
renamed the "Windows SDK", available called "Microsoft Windows Software 
Development Kit (SDK) for Beta 2 of Windows Vista and WinFX Runtime 
Components" on the Microsoft site that syncs up with the Windows Vista Beta 
2 release.  This Windows SDK will eventually release as the next "Platform 
SDK" for all supported Microsoft OS releases.

The existing Platform SDK relies on a more makefile solution rather than 
Visual Studio project files, so it should be usable with any version of VS 
although you'll have to create your own projects from scratch.  The newer 
Windows SDK is providing VS 2005 projects for the samples.

Thanks March, Thanks Chuck..

SDK 2005 done.. I see examples.. another trouble they're all makefile 
projects, as I use VS2005 it doesn't recognise makefiles, but will try to 
manage with Makefile Wizard.. let you know about any progress.

See my site which has vs project files on the Downloads page (thanks to
Iain).

Very fascinating.

VS2005 doesn't find ddraw.h in 2005 PSDK include dir, cause it's absent.
Will copy manually ddraw.h from DirectX SDK April 2006, looks like they are 
the same in each DXSDKs, not sure though.
240K

Thanks for project files.

Just built BaseClasses..
There were several minor mistakes:

1.
Doesn't support next record:

//	COARefTime(LONG);
//              operator=(LONG);

Replaced by:

    inline COARefTime operator=(LONG l)
	{
		return COARefTime(m_time=l);
	};
	
2.   for (UINT Count = 0;.......)
Doesn't supported.

Replaced by:
     UINT Count;
     for (Count = 0;.......)

3.... several errors like 2-nd type..

Ok, just built Bouncing Ball filter.
Tried to run it from GraphEdit of MSPSDK.. 
In Dshow filter list can't find BouncingBall...
Should it be added to filter list somehow?..

Regards

You need to register the filter (see my FAQ... are you beginning to see a
pattern here ;))

You probably need to fix up your directory paths for Include files and 
Library files to have the correct search order: DirectX SDK, 
Platform/Windows SDK, VC stuff

Tools / Options / Projects and Solutions / VC++ Directories.

March and Chuck, thank you very very much for your so informative posts and 
web site hints.
Without those hints I'd spend a lot of time figuring out the DirectShow.
What I needed is AMCap similar proj, what I've got is the AMCap proj.
Seems like everything's possible in that life ;-)
