The Coding4Fun Show: WPF MediaKit with Jeremiah Morrill

Brian Peek — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:49:00 GMT

In this episode of the Coding4Fun Show, Brian Peek interviews Jeremiah Morrill who has written WPF MediaKit, an amazing library to quickly build DirectShow and MediaFoundation media player controls in WPF. It's amazingly powerful and, as a developer, can be used with just a few lines of XAML. In fact, you can create a full-blown DVD player or webcam capture control in your application each with a single XAML tag! Learn all about this great project, how it was written, and how to use it in your own creations.

And note that the output of the WPF MediaKit player is perfectly smooth in realtime. The capture application + encoding made for a "stuttery" output that's definitely not seen when running these demos in realtime.
