DirectShow Samples

This article provides the descriptions of the Microsoft® DirectShow™ samples that are part of the DirectShow Software Development Kit (SDK). These samples demonstrate how to write DirectShow filters and applications that use them.

The following sections describe the purpose and functionality of each filter or application. Each section also describes the use of the corresponding base classes for the following filters or samples.
