App rendering TV tuner in C++ Builder

[mailed]

Hi,
I need to write some applications with Directshow but I don't have experience with this, and the documentation is very poor. I watched the video with GraphEdit Plus demonstration and I think it can really help. I have some questions:

1) My main application will render a stream coming from a USB digital TV tuner. The driver is BDA compatible, and I have a couple with Directshow compatible decoders. Can GraphEdit help me building the source code for this kind of application? Do you have any demonstration for that?

2) I program in C++ Builder. The code generated is C++ pure, so can I use/adapt in C++ Builder?

1. You need to install SDK containing documentation for DirectShow (I guess that's Platform SDK, earlier it was DirectX SDK).

2. Just install GraphEditPlus (you can use it for 30 days free of charge) and try rendering video from the tuner. If it builds the graph which works OK, then it can generate code that builds the same graph. In some cases you'll need to modify it a bit to select proper pins or pin categories.

3. I have no experience in making DirectShow apps in C++ Builder but I think there won't be any problems.
