DirectShow Live Video Preview Only

Project: Simple DirectShow Live Video Preview Only Description: Demonstrate DirectShow capabilities in VB. Allow for previewing of live video inputs from any capture or Microsoft WDM device attached in a PC. Strictly preview only, no capture or extra initiallization of unwanted services. Our initial research application can be written in less than 30 lines of code. What is important is that the display region is in X,Y locations other than 0,0. Example the display region on the form is at (x,y,w,h) 50,45,320,280. And that it is not tied to a specific device, it must accept Windows Imaging devices, video capture devices, or TV Tuners. So use as much abstraction as possible. Must show codes doing the following: 1. Initializing filtergraph manager 2. Selection of available video input devices 3. Previewing 4. Release of devices Place code in a single subroutine only. Self-contained. No 3rd party ocx or dll. All this can be implemented using DirectX. Use a separate form for the video output. Video quality and fluidity is a must. Embedded assembly or C++ codes are acceptable. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform DirectX9.0 Visual Basic 5.0 Windows XP Professional Must support any video input devices
