BasicVideo.NET

BasicVideo.NET is a comprehensive set of .NET components that offer fast video capture and playback capabilities with zero lines of code required. This library supports both the old and new video capture technologies, including Win32 API (Video For Windows (VFW), VCM, WaveAPI, ACM), DirectShow, and even a mix of these methods. Whether a developer chooses to use one or all of these options, they can switch from one to another with ease, thanks to the comprehensive components included in this library.

What's more, BasicVideo.NET makes all of these different approaches appear almost identical, leaving users free to concentrate on developing video-oriented applications rather than wrestling with the complexities of the underlying technologies. For those who prefer to avoid coding entirely, this library also includes a visual graphical editor that allows codeless development.

Among the capabilities of BasicVideo.NET are video capture from analog or digital sources like FireWire (IEEE1394) cameras, DV camcorders, USB web cams, IP cameras, TV cards, and composite or USB devices with or without audio. Playback is supported via VFW, Windows Media Encoder, or DirectShow, while recording can be done in AVI, VFW, DirectShow, and Windows Media Encoder (ASF, WMV) formats. BasicVideo.NET also allows users to compress and decompress videos in VFW, WMV, and DirectShow formats, and to generate custom filters for video with their own code. Moreover, users can even generate video from code or images, enhancing the flexibility and versatility of this impressive software.

BasicVideo.NET is free for non-commercial use, meaning that developers who want to experiment with its capabilities and develop their own personal projects can do so without having to worry about licensing fees. Whether for hobby or professional use, BasicVideo.NET is an excellent option for anyone who wants to add video capabilities to their .NET applications quickly and easily.
