Windows XP DirectShow Sample -- VMRMix
--------------------------------------
Description: This application shows capabilities of the new
video mixing renderer (VMR) that is the default video
renderer in Windows XP. In particular, it demonstrates
how to use the VMR in a mixing mode with several sources,
how to apply a bitmap image with a color key over the video,
and how to take advantage of the IVMRMixerControl interface
to manage source and destination rectangles and alpha-level
for each media stream.
Usage:
Upon initialization, VMRMix asks the user to specify a
media folder that contains at least two valid media files,
after which it loads media settings from that folder.
The user is asked to specify playback options:
number of source files, size of the playback window, and
whether to display a static bitmap image. When the user
clicks on the 'Play' button, a new window appears to mix
the selected streams. The demonstration lasts until the
longest media file reaches the end. You can interrupt the
demonstration by closing the playback window.
Troubleshooting:
This application was originally created as a stress test,
so it uses more system resources when displaying a maximum
number of streams and when using "full-screen" mode. If
video is freezing or slows down, try selecting fewer sources
and turn off the "full-screen" option.
