WMVideo9 Encoder in DirectShow

[Peter Brophy]

Hi guys, I'm testing out different codecs and am trying to put
together a

VidCapture -> WMVideo9 Encoder DMO(4cc:WMV3) -> WMVideoDecoder DMO ->
Video Renderer

in graphedt but the pins won't connect from the encoder to the
decoder. I want to have a look at the quality of the video. Do I need
to have the Windows Encoder Format SDK? Does this only work in code
for some reason (I know I need to do this anyway to set quality
parameters etc)? What am I missing here? I was able to get this
working fine with the MS Mjpeg codec.

thanks
Peter

This was discussed not long ago. Here you can find the
documentation on ow to use the WMV9 DMO:

Thanks - I did a search for it but obviously not enough.

The new and improved search engine on the MS web site has a
strange notion of what a match is...
