How to use VLDSVideoFilter to split video?

[Ted Wagner]

I want to develop an application that plays a video file (.avi, .wmv, .mpg, etc) to two or more VLImageDisplay instances. My initial attempt using a VLDSVideoFilter and a single VLImageDisplay results in ESLException 'Can't create the DirectShow filterl - 0 -0'.

I have the filter's input pin [0] set to the VLDSVideoPlayer OutputPin, and the filter's output pin [0] set to the VLImageDisplay.

Advance thanks

I got past this problem by properly setting the filter type to Infinite Tee

Hi Ted,

You probably want to take a look at the VideoSpliterDemo in the Demos\DirectShow sub-directory ;-) .

Thanks Boian ... but where's the Demos directory? I can't find it in my installation anywhere ...

(Delphi)\LabPacks\Demos

Assuming you have done a full install.

Cheers,

I did a full install, but my Delphi7/LabPacks folder is empty.

I did piece it together using the online tutorials though, so, on to the next hurdle!
