Using VLC with Directshow
Posted: 20 May 2009 11:53
I have a professional project which is using multiple instances of VLC to show 16 video camera outputs streamed in MPEG4 format on a videowall.
The problem is that the videowall graphics card uses directshow to render the video. I believe that the current version of VLC des not support directshow.
This results in poor playback and extremely inefficient use of the PC resources.
I searched on the web and found the sensoray bridge for directshow on VLC.( http://www.sensoray.com/support/videoLan.htm ) I don't have the necessary skills to implement this. I'm not even sure it's the solution to the problem.
Is there anyone out there who could help?
Thanks
Matt
