I *believe* though I am not certain that a subset of DirectShow is
supported on PPCs.

I have NO development experience of the PPC so I've never looked into
this. However, that is where I'd start. If you need some signposting then
let me know and I'll see what I can find out.

Iain,

Thanks for your reply, I would really appreciate if you could provide some
signposts where I can start from.

OK. I found this

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ [...] erview.asp
and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ [...] ctshow.asp


and

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ [...] erview.asp
for simple .NET support (DOTNET and DirectShow are not best friends - DOT
net and real time stuff isn't very compatible, but there is some basic
support).

I'm assuming that Pockect PCs are Windows CE by the way - like all MS
products you quickly loose track of the names they give as the names seem
to evolve quicker than the technology!
