The digital video disc (DVD) Graph Builder enables applications to use the VMR-9 through the IDvdGraphBuilder::RenderDvdVideoVolume method.IGetCapabilitiesKey Interface is a new interface that filters can implement to enable applications to query for the filter's capabilities.New encoder application programming interface (API) specification: The Encoder API defines a standard, format-neutral way in which software or hardware encoders can communicate with applications and device drivers.New deinterlacing support in the digital video (DV) decoder filter.New deinterlacing support in DirectX Video Acceleration.The VMR-9 is more powerful than the original VMR (now called 'VMR-7') because it is fully compatible with the DirectX 9.0 graphics capabilities and it offers improved support for deinterlacing and ProcAmp control (brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation). This new, redistributable rendering filter is similar in concept and design to the VMR that is available for Microsoft Windows?XP. Video Mixing Renderer Filter 9 (VMR-9).Added support for sphere map texture generation mode.įor more information, see What's New in DirectX Graphics or see each of the components.Added a limited form of flow control to version 2.0 vertex shaders.Changes to vertex shaders and vertex stream declaration binding.Vertex streams now created with a declaration.

Vertex and pixel shaders now referred to by objects created by Component Object Model (COM) interfaces IDirect3DVShader9 and IDirect3DPShader9.This tool is installed as part of the SDK install and can be accessed from Start, Programs, Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK, DirectX Utilities, DirectX Error Lookup. Use this tool to take the hexadecimal error codes and look up a text-based error message. This tool is installed during the software development kit (SDK) install and can be accessed within Microsoft Visual Studio?when creating a new application. This tool provides an application wizard for creating a DirectX application with any combination of DirectX components. It includes new tools, new features for graphics and Microsoft DirectShow? and enhancements for Microsoft DirectInput?and Microsoft DirectPlay?
