DirectShowVideoSrc for gstreamer
Ole André and Me, have been working on implementing a DirectShow video source for gstreamer, here is an initial screenshot showing that crack working!
Aren’t we cute
Hopefully, we will be able to release a fully functionnal gstreamer directshow video source element by the end of this week

Cute?! oucha…
Hey guys,
Any updated on this? I also wonder if you are you willing to share the code of the DirectShowSrc element, so I can contribute to it. In fact, I’m exploring the possibility of using gstreamer to get live video from a video capture card. Having a DirectShow filter in gstreamer would make it much easier.
Thanks,
Andres
There is already code for this in the gstreamer cvs
I already grabbed the latest release of gst-plugins-bad (0.10.6) and was able to compile the dshowsrcwrapper plugin. However, I’m a little bit lost on how to start using it… Can you post a simple example of creating a pipeline using dshowvideosrc as a video source? How do you set what dshow graph to use, and the corresponding properties in the dshowvideosrc element?
Many thanks,
Andres
