Hi Paul,

I think what Helios is asking, and also what I am trying to figure out is: What
are the steps necessary to setup the DirectX SDK to work with Borland Builder?
Unless I am misunderstanding something (which is very possible ;-)), the
programmer needs to setup the DirectX SDK to be able to use DirectShow.

Some other questions:
1.  Once you have a set of the DirectX files that have been implib'ed (like the
ones available from the Borland website), what are you supposed to do with
them?  Which directory are they stored in, and how does the compilier need to be
set to recognize these new library files?

2.  When making the project, what files (if any) need to be added to the project
beyond the regular set of .h, .cpp, and .dfm files?

I'm planning on using DirectShow to capture video images from our customer's
video cameras.  They want the ability to capture still images, series of still
images, or to create mpeg files.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
Mike Goldweber
