QuestionHow To use DirectX 9.0 for displaying video from devices and capturing frames Pin

Hi
I am developing an application where i want to display live video and also do some image processing.

I tried:
1. Video for Windows API : easy but not quite comprehensive and not able to use overlay
2. 3rd Party SDK: nice quality still no overlay support, no single frame capture fn.!
3. GDI+ is an option but not quite preferable for fast video display and capture where I think DirectX goes well. Thus selected latest DirectX v9 which is latest for WinXP.
4. searched for DirecX but got DirectShow links which is deprecated in DirectX 9. also could not find suitable code for capturing single frame.

I've been searching for quite a while now. searched through CodeProject, MSDN, Google; but could not get exactly what i wanted. D'Oh! | :doh:

Thus can you guide/suggest in the following area:

How to easily use DirectX 9.0 for displaying video from devices and capturing frames

I want to achieve this with very simple ( minimalistic) coding as i am beginner in this area and would not like to indulge with the complexity of DirectX (one of the most complex API's by Microsoft) for that purpose please suggest how to use Windows Media Player SDK or Windows SDX.

How to use DirectX 9.0 API's in -

1. Live video: display live video from digital camera / (analog camera + framegrabber card).
2. Overlay: displaying informative data over(on top of) the video (i guess this is what they call Overlay)
3. Capture Frame : capturing Current frame(image) for Image processing

platform: C#.NET, Visual Studio 2005, .Net Framework 2.0, WinXP Prof. SP2 on Pentium Core 2 duo 2GHz , 1GB Ram PC with Intel onboard graphics accelerator.


any help/suggestion or links highly appreciated ...

thanks.
