DirectShow isn't quite as bad as Mr. Simmons states (maybe he should have held out for the 7-
figure jobs Poke tongue | ;-P ) but its COM interfaces and semi-confusing documentation can make the learning curve
tough.
I've found it superior to its predecessor VFW, mostly because of WDM driver support. It's also
very flexible once you get the hang of it. That, unfortunately, can take some time (I mean
blood, sweat, and many tears) Smile | :)

That said, h.263 is no longer supported on DirectShow. As always with DirectShow, you WILL have
a hard time if you need to use a certain codec and you don't have one. The codecs included with
Windows are extremely limited. If you have a 3rd-party codec that is wrapped in a DirectShow
filter then you're in good shape.

My advice is get the Platform SDK (where the DirectShow SDK now lives) and study the features.
Make sure it's going to do what you need before you commit the time. The samples included in
the SDK work. Use them. It's sometimes nice to have working code you can study when the
documentation is vague.

Good luck!
Mark
