Mix Two or more videos with DirectShow

June 30, 2007 at 12:02 am | In DirectShow, GraphEdit | Leave a Comment

Hi Chicos/chicas !!

Many students and some researchers need from time to time to show results. For example, what I wanted to do is to show two videos one next to the other in a very simple way. You can par example use the software from medialooks forvideo

http://medialooks-video-mixer.medialooks.qarchive.org/_download2.html

1.- Install the directshow filter

2.- open GraphEdit

3.- Load your videos( DirectShow Filters -> File source asynchronize most of the time)

4.- Render the pins to generate the decoding step (use the same decoder as for example DivX Decoder Filter)

5.- Insert the MediaLooks Video Mixer and put the output pins of your videos as the output for this filter.

6.- Render the video to the screen or to a file (DirectShow Filters-> FileWriter).

Good luck and if you have other ways to do it, please comment them !

Bye bye

BaseClasses bugs

June 1, 2007 at 12:59 am | In DirectShow | Leave a Comment

Hi there,

Well if you are reading this article, you might be having some problems with DirectShow and Visual Studio. In my case, I was migrating from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005, and there were some bugs in Microsoft code. A very useful link to fix these bugs is:

However, do not forget to recompile the BaseClasses libraries in debug and release mode (strmbasd.lib and STRMBASE.lib )  and to include them in your project.

Hope it helps,

Marcelo
