Basic Render Engine
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Note
[Deprecated. This API may be removed from future releases of Windows.]
The Basic Render Engine object renders uncompressed output from a timeline. To create this object, call CoCreateInstance. For compressed output, use the Smart Render Engine. The class identifier is CLSID_RenderEngine.
The Basic Render Engine exposes the following interfaces:
- IAMSetErrorLog
- IObjectWithSite
- IRenderEngine
- IRenderEngine2
