I want to be able to encode a video from a bitmap or handle to bitmap source.
The bitmap object would be changing very quickly and I would record these changes to a video.
Basically it would be a bunch of image objects that I want to throw together to make a video.

My question is mainly this. What is the best way to create video files in c#? Interop DirectShow functions?
Windows media encoder? Anythign else?

As far as I know C# doesnt have much to deal with video. Managed DirectX only supports displaying a video file and playing audio.
What is the best way to go about creating a video.

Thank you.

Yes, interop DirectShow. Or license some other third-party API.

I'll try that, thanks. Seems a little complicated though, at least the examples I've seen.
I was surprised to find that C# did not have some methods that dealt with video capture. I guess I'll have to do it the hard way.

Thanks.
