Hello hallo Bonjour...
I developp a capture-software with DirectShow DX9.
I want to use a MovieBox DV from Pinnacle,
wich has got 3 Inputs
- Composite video input (RCA connector)
- S-Video input (mini-DIN connector)
- IEEE1394
I discover that
- pinnacle studio 9 uses automatically the Composite video input
- Windows Movie Maker uses automatically Firewire.
How could I force my software to always use the S-Video input ?
could i find somewhere a setup video capture device for my MovieBox DV ?
Or a setup Filter ???

Hi Hans,
using the IMVSCSelectInput of the MV Smart Control, you can do the following:
1) Ask InputCount for the number of inputs.
2) Call GetInputLabel for every input
3) Look which one is called "S-Video"
4) Call Connect("SourceFilterName", YourSVideoInputIndex, OutputPin)

My problem now is that i am a real newby,
even if i already have developped some directshow code.
So i want to know
if i need a MontiVision Project File (*.mvp)
to integrate The Smart Control into my application
or is ther a "easier way"
to configure my own directShow filter ?

Hi Hans,
If you wouldn't want to use the Smart Control you would need to access the DirectShow API directly.

that means that it's impossible to mix
some motivision codes and some directshow codes :
either i redevelop my all filter with Montivision
or i have to dive dipper in directShow :
i am interrested in montivision because i didn't already manage to find a way with DirectShow (Analog Video Crossbar Filter ?)...

I am working with Visual C++6.
What should I in the "Registered ActiveX Controls" folder ?
- MVSmartControl Object ?
- MV Integration Control ?
The two ones ?

Hi Hans,
You need the MontiVision Smart Control and if required the utility controls. Please have a look at the documentation for available utility controls.

I would like to know - if it is not too
indiscreet to ask - if the object "IMVSCSelectInput" is based on the crossbar filter from Directshow (which exposes the IAMCrossbar interface )...

Hi Hans,
It is not indiscreet. Yes, it is based on that. Everything in our kit is based on DirectShow.
