Register a custom DirectShow Filter SDK DLL
Before you are ready to use your Filter SDK DLL in
DirectShow® and the MontiVision Development Kit, the filter
has to be registered. This has to be done
only once.
If you used the Filter SDK wizard to create the new filter, then
this step is automatically done for you as a "Post Build Step".
Steps to register a new filter
Call the "Run..." command from the start menu and type
in "regsvr32.exe c:\pathto\dllname.dll" without the
quotes.
E.g., if your DLL was called "filter.dll", you would type:
regsvr32.exe c:\myfilter\filter.dll.
Press the OK button. The following
message appears if everything is OK.
The filter is now registered. If the
registration fails, ensure that the FilterSDK.ax
file is registered. Normally the FilterSDK.ax is
registered during the installation of the MontiVision Development
Kit. You can find the FilterSDK.ax in the "bin"
folder in the installation path of the MontiVision
Development Kit and it can be registered using the same procedure
as described above.
Filter Category
DirectShow® filters created using the
MontiVision Filter SDK have their own filter category "MontiVision
Filter SDK Filters".
