Have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/audio/#DirectShow

in particular:

An easy video processing framework by grabbing frames as bitmaps using DirectShow

Extracting bitmaps from movies using DirectShow

Is there not a simple C++ code?Do I necessary have to use DirectShow?

It depends on the video. Without directshow it is your task to decompress the video. For mpeg2 you could use the mpeg2lib.dll. For avi you can use the avifil32.dll...
