Remove Screen Capture from Video Device Type

in Microsoft.Expression.Encoder is it possible to remove Screen capture from Video device type.

If I do

VideoDevices = EncoderDevices.FindDevices(EncoderDeviceType.Video);

It returns me 2 device ( The webcam plugged in and the Screen capture )

Tho i don't want the ability to use Screen Capture as the recording device.

Should i just remove it manually while checking the name of it, or did they add some kind of functionnality to only get webcam devices in video devices.

Thanks.

  • Yes, filtering according to a string match seems to be your best choice.

    Either filter for the name "Screen Capture Source" or the fact that it's DevicePath does not contain the substring "usb".
