Do video editors with DirectShow encoder support exist at all?

[LigH.de]

I wonder if there are any video editors or converters (not including pure developer tools like GraphStudio) which officially support DirectShow encoders/multiplexers. If you know any, please point me to an official documentation, at least a public features list. Some DirectShow encoders do exist (e.g. visioforge offers a collection), but are they only meant to be used in applications someone would still have to create? Are there no serious editing tools (like Premiere, Vegas, Edius, etc.) known to support installed DS encoders? May that not even be possible as long as an application doesn't provide configuration dialogs specifically for few known encoders on its own?

Some versions of editors have directshow import/decoding in specific scenarios, but I haven't heard of any that have strictly directshow export

I do not know if this is you mean.

No, Jamaika, that won't help. An SDK = Software Development Kit is for programmers, not for end users. There is no executable video editor yet in the LeadTools SDK, someone with programming skills would have to code one around this SDK.

I thought so. Not written yet about which version of DirectX you mean. You can call Intel or Mainconcept it might help to get a additives in these editors. Currently, no editor is adapted to DirectX 12 for Windows 10.

You seem to confuse DirectX (2D/3D API) with DirectShow (A/V media filter API). DirectShow already exists about since DirectX 6 for Windows 98 (as DirectX Media extension / ActiveMovie); since 2007 it is not a part of the DirectX SDK anymore, but in the Windows SDK, so it does not rely on any specific DirectX version.

DirectShow is the media framework to build filter chains from reading a media source over splitting containers and decoding content, possibly also filtering it, to either presenting it to an audience or encoding it to a new media file or stream. Most media players for Windows without integrated decoders use it to play video and audio; but they need only demultiplexers and decoders. Encoders implemented as DirectShow filters do exist too. But which already existing applications can use them?

I answer yes. I installed Windows 10 preview. Then I added editors Magix / Sony / Corel. To each of them I had to install DirectX 11 to properly walked.

These applications may require a specific minimum DirectX version for additional features (e.g. hardware accelerated renderers, shaders, 3D effects, etc.). But not for basically using DirectShow; from Vista or W7 on, I believe, DirectShow should already be integrated into Windows...

I believe some editors can encode using FFDshow, but only via VFW interface.

I seem to recall marcoroccini asking for a DirectShow encoder for his beloved "Speed Razor" (or whatever it was called)......

Good memory racer!

@LigH - see this thread and the screenshots. Speed Razor is a dinosaur (circa 2001), not even supported officially or offered anymore - but it seems to be able to access directshow codec through the GUI. You can PM the user for more info

Thank you, at least one sample. Quite outdated, indeed. And it was not really cheap (a Google hit reports almost 1K$).

I found a 3D text titling tool named BluffTitler which seems to encode using DS filters.
