Building DirectShow Applications requires header files and Library files.

Header Files

All DirectShow applications use the Dshow.h header file. Some DirectShow interfaces require additional header files. These requirements are noted in the interface reference.

Library Files

The following table shows the library files DirectShow uses.

Library file Description

Quartz.lib

Exports the AMGetErrorText function. If you do not call this function, this library is not required.

Strmiids.lib

Exports class identifiers (CLSIDs) and interface identifiers (IIDs). All DirectShow applications require this library.
