Is it time to start DirectShow?

Seriously, I’m thinking about using DirectShow instead ov VFW to capture video, I know DirectShow will be much more difficult than VFW, but it’s modern technology from Microsoft and it was said it has more features, who knows if I need some of those features or not.

I found a DirectShow book a while back but never had time read it through, it was named as the best DirectShow book so I think I’d better spend some time on that, even just pick some pages so to get basic idea of how things are going.

I need to be prepared for potential losing job, it is no longer impossible now, so I’d better know more than less, anything seems to be useless could be pretty useful in the future.

I should learn some Java stuffs, I know 😀 .
