Windowless Sample
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
This sample demonstrates windowless mode in the Video Mixing Renderer 9 (VMR-9) filter.
You can capture the image from the video window by right-clicking on the image, or by selecting Capture Current Frame from the Image menu.
To download the DirectShow SDK samples, install the latest version of the Windows SDK.
