Capture camera stream to screen

Question

Hi,

I'm googling since two days and I cannot find any solution for this:

I'm using Windows Mobile and I need to capture (with directdraw) the input from a camera device and output it directly on screen.

You could think of it as a copy of the camera application that's built in to the Windwos Mobile OS.

What I've been trying is to use a filter graph where I would attach to it VideoCaptureFilter and VideoWindow but nothing happens.

Any ideas, links or search keywords?

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to a blog post about it, according to the post there is a sample app in the sdk called CameraCapture that shows how to do it.
