Hi all - I've been using Direct Show via the managed APIs in a couple of programs, and the AudoVideoPlayback namespace seems to be dropped from the latest DX release. I understand that DirectShow is part of the PSDK now, does that include managed DirectShow ? Also, does this mean there's a DirectShow redistributable with the PSDK ?
Check here -
http://www.elecard.com/products/products-pc/sdk/191/.net-sdk The page
mentions 21 day trial, but this is for binary components. The base
classes will not expire.

No one seems to know what is supposed to be happening with the AudioVideoPlayback namespace. It was incomplete to begin with but was useful for doing very simple things. Because of the move to the Platform SDK, the DX team no longer has resources to support the wrapper, let alone complete it. It seems the *** child has become disowned.
You can of course use the real unmanaged DirectShow directly via Interop.
