Directshow Hardware encoding for webcam Logitech C930e

i'm trying capture video with the webcam logitech c930e use hardware encoded stream (Windows 8.1 x64). Try many way but still no success (ffmpeg only show mjpeg, directshow cannot connect pin to mp4mux, only connect to MS DTV-DVD Video Decoder).

Is there anyway to capture video with this webcam use hardware encoded ?

Thanks!

Solution

  • To consume Logitech C930e's H.264 video you might need an adapter filter which coverts camera's video to standard H.264 media type.

    Or, this fork of GDCL mp4mux project, for example, accepts the camera's H.264 directly:

    You can also consume and record this H.264 video naturally using Media Foundation API. Standard Windows Store Camera application is capable of doing exactly this (at least in Windows 10 before Anniversary update, or otherwise with Frame Server disabled or possibly with most recent patches).
