DSNET Capturing video to a FileStream

I was wondering if it is possible to have a filter or in anyway record video to a Stream (and not a Path/Video file).

So for instance, right now I have something like this:

hr = pRecBuilder.SetOutputFileName(MediaSubType.Avi, VideoFileName, out mux, out pSink);
hr = pRecBuilder.RenderStream(null, MediaType.Video, m_pCaptureGraphSourceFilter, null, mux);

So instead of using SetOutputFileName() I would like something like SetOutputFileStream()

Does anyone have an idea on how i might be able to do that?

Thank you.

  • It is technically possible, but you would need a replacement for standard File Writer filter. There is no stock implementation and I am not aware of third party filter to do that. In the same time, it is doable and such filter would accept connection from multiplexer and supply its own IStream implementation to accept the data.
