The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

This is my first post to forum. I was using avcodec to decode encoded data with H.264. However, I am about to switch it to libvlc for a number of reasons.
In my another application, I grab the desktop screen with BitBlt API. I was wondering if libvlc provides any function for screen grabbing? My target is to capture desktop screen like pressing PrintScreen key and pasting the image on the paint and saving it. Does libvlc provide this functionality?

Many thanks.

Yes, that's what "screen://" does.

I will use libvlc.dll. Could you please tell me what function do I need to use? What part of the code contains this capturing process?

Please refer to the documentation, which is linked in this forum.
