AMCap is a small yet fully functional video capture and preview application compatible with Microsoft DirectShow (formerly ActiveMovie, hence the name). It is based on the sample AMCap source code from the Microsoft DirectX 9 SDK. I added many features that I was requested, including:
- still capture (Ctrl+L) in BMP, JPEG and PNG
- support for compression (Windows Media 9 Series only)
- remember Video Input, Video Standard and Video size from previous session
- full screen mode (ALT+Enter)
- support for multi-monitor (using VMR9)
- caption bar and menu on/off (F11)
- always on top feature (F12)
The VMR9 option enables support for the multi-monitor, zooming, aspect ratio and deinterlacing features (Microsoft DirectX 9.0 required.)
Output Files: AVI, BMP, JPG, PNG
