[QUOTE="craige1, post: 972240, member: 66464"] I think your running off the vista version of Media Foundation. Windows 7 added a bunch to Media Foundation. It now supports capture devices (like tv cards) and a whole set of new file types supported. Maybe there should be a little project on the side to see/work on MF support in MP2. The idea that directshow is too big to be dropped is a folly considering we already have devices that look and act like laptops running windows without directshow support. Media Foundation wont be disappearing anytime soon since Microsoft is ridding on the success of devices that only use MF for media. Its at least worth doing a deep look at what would need to be changed for MF to take over ds. Then if the MP team decides that its to much work for now, then (being an open source project) there's a launching point for someone who might take up the challenge to start from. The biggest point to consider is that it will need to happen at some point, and considering we already have windows devices that don't support ds, its going to have to be in the next 2-3 years. Since MP2 is in development now, wouldn't it be nice if it released running off technology that was going to be around for awhile, instead of having to do a code rewrite during its life. [/QUOTE]
