Hi All
Can anyone help
I have a final year project. This involves using a security camera with an inbuilt server that streams MPEG-4 video data over a network using an RTP over UDP. I am using the DirectX SDK which I am very familiar with in particular D3D, DirectSound and parts of DirectShow. So I assume I will have to develop or modify filters to develop my project. I have looked at the DirectShow API and sample applications and have been unable to find anything that can help me. The DSNetwork filter example is very good, but it only streams MPEG-2. I have a DirectX 9.0 SDK which has DirectShow and also the Direct Format SDK. Neither of them seems to give you much help with MPEG-4 filter development. All the other sample filters i.e. Renderer's, Decoders, DeMux's, Splitters, and Parsers, only process MPEG-2 or MPEG-1.
Could any one point me in the right direction and tell me how I can modify or develop a suite of MPEG-4 filters, or tell me where I can find MPEG-4 filter samples. I have looked all over the internet and downloaded lots of VIdeo LAN applications which are very good but do not have any MPEG-4 filters. Help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance MasterBlaster
Multi-Cast Streaming MPEG-4 video over a network

Hi:
The idea of the video Lan is good, i'll check it out with the camera as you mentioned. However currently I am managing a video renderer application. The application works for MPEG2 file playbacks from harddisk however I want to enable it to hook with the network and for that I guess I need DSnetwork. If you have compiled the DSNetwork filter sample (dsnet.ax), could you send it to me. I don't have the .Net environment cds to compile them fom the DirectX 9.0 SDK and thanks for ur help.

You mentioned downloading Video LAN applications. Did you specifically download VLC media player 0.8.5, and then select File menu, Open Network Stream, and UDP/RTP Multicast to confirm that video is received from your specific security camera
That would really go a long way towards development of a filter since you would then be able to take a working x264 library, possibly create some IOCP based network code and piece everything together as needed.

I believe the WM ASF Writer outputs MPEG4. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/directshow/htm/directshowfilters.asp

Hey There:
I urgently need help with the DSnetwork. I have to use it for MPEG2 streaming from the network but am having quite difficulty understanding it. In the DirectX SDK the files are stored for .NET, however I have only the VC6.0 version to compile my programs. I need to register the multicast receiver so I can use it in Graphedit and then program it in my application. Anyways I think that you help me with it and your is the only DSnetwork question I have come across. Please do let me know if u can provide any feedback.
Kind regards
