Microsoft® DirectShow™ defines CLSIDs for many of its most-used components, such as filters and plug-in distributors. The CLSIDs are defined in Uuids.h. This article gives the GUID and a brief description of the most common CLSIDs.
This table lists the CLSIDs of the DirectShow plug-in distributors, COM objects that expose a control interface and implement it by calling the enumerator of the filter graph manager, finding which filters expose the control interface and communicating directly with those filters. These interfaces are generally not implemented directly by the developer.
| CLSID | GUID | Description |
| CLSID_FilterGraph | e436ebb3-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770 | An object that builds filter graphs. This object implements the IFilterGraph interface. |
| CLSID_CaptureGraphBuilder | BF87B6E0-8C27-11d0-B3F0-00AA003761C5 | An object that builds capture graphs, preview graphs, and file compression graphs. This object implements the ICaptureGraphBuilder interface. |
| CLSID_AMovie | 5f2759c0-7685-11cf-8b23-00805f6cef60 | An object that performs as the filter graph manager. This object implements the IAMovie interface. |
| CLSID_PersistMonikerPID | e436ebb7-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770 | An object that implements the IPersistMoniker interface, a standard COM interface that gives objects more control over the way they bind to their persistent data. |
| CLSID_FilterMapper | e436ebb2-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770 | An object used by the filter graph manager to look up the properties of filters when they are loaded. This object implements the IFilterMapper interface. |
| CLSID_SystemClock | e436ebb2-524f-11ce-9f53-0020af0ba770 | An object that implements the system reference clock in a filter graph. This object implements the IReferenceClock interface. |
This table lists the CLSIDs related to creating DirectShow cutlists, a collection of audio and video clips from different sources. Using the CutListGraphBuilderObject, the SimpleCutList object, and the VideoFileClip and AudioFileClip objects, an application can build a cutlist out of pieces of AVI and WAV files, and use the DirectShow Cutlist Source Filter to play it.
| CLSID | GUID | Description |
| CLSID_AudioFileClip | ea49fa82-ba5c-11d0-bd21-00c04fb6b815 | An object that represents an audio file clip in a cutlist. This object implements the ICutListElement interface. |
| CLSID_VideoFileClip | ea49fa80-ba5c-11d0-bd21-00c04fb6b815 | An object that represents a video file clip in a cutlist. This object implements ICutListElement. |
| CLSID_SimpleCutList | ea49fa7f-ba5c-11d0-bd21-00c04fb6b815 | An object that represents a cutlist (a collection of cutlist elements, each with a relative time and duration). This object implements the IStandardCutList interface. |
| CLSID_CutListGraphBuilder | ea49fa7e-ba5c-11d0-bd21-00c04fb6b815 | An object that represents a cutlist filter graph. This object implements the ICutListGraphBuilder interface. |

This table lists the CLSIDs for the DirectShow filter categories, seen in the Filter Graph Editor when you choose Insert Filters from the Graph menu. These categories can be used to enumerate the filters in a certain category.
