    those are all DirectX questions. Unfortunately the DirectX implementation available to us doesn't expose a lot of stuff in managed code, there's going to be a lot of C++ involved. this forum is for smart device development, not DirectX, and I'd guess there aren't a lot of people here who have even worked with DirectX/DirectShow, or have done so in-depth. So, that's why I say, you'd be better off asking in the DirectX newsgroups. There isn't a lot of DirectX knowledge here, this is a DirectX question. There's no API specific to smart devices to help you with this. I struggled through some DirectX work for smart devices almost a year ago myself, you're better off asking these questions in a more relevant place.

    this isn't the right forum for this. try the DirectX newsgroups:
