How to create a virtual video capture driver for Windows?

Question

I need to create a driver that presents itself to Windows as a video capture driver. The driver generates the video itself. How would I go about doing this? And please keep in mind that I'm using Visual C++ Express.

Answer 1

I'm not sure you can do this with a UMD, so you'll likely need to install the WDK. You probably all ready know this, but writing a driver is a huge undertaking so you should be prepared for that.

Here's a link on writing Windows drivers from MSDN. I'd also suggest you pick up a copy of the Windows Internals book, and check out OSR (and take a class if you can!).

Hope that helps you get started!
