VideoLab is a set of components, based on OpenWire 2.x for fast video processing. They allow fast complex video manipulations with just few lines of program code. The library supports the old fashion Win32 API( Video For Windows ( VFW ), VCM, WaveAPI, ACM), the newer DirectShow, DMO, the free FreeFrame and even allows if needed any mixture of them. The developer can choose to go with any of them, to use all, or can switch from the one to the other at any moment. The components hide the complexity of all of the approaches, and make them look almost identical from the users prospective. Includes: Video Players and Loggers ( Win32 and DicerctX/DirectShow ) Video/Audio Capture and Video/Audio Output ( Win32 and DicerctX/DirectShow ) Filters, Geometric transformations Video Mixers Histogram Direct Media Objects (DMO) Video Compressors/De compressors FreeFrame Custom filters Scope and Waterfall components
