No problem -- but it's Dan!  Anyway I'm supposed to switch to Outlook
soon, not looking forward to it.

I will do my best to help.  I cannot make any blanket promises, but a
working DSHOW filter would be a good thing.  In many ways it's a more
powerful interface than VFW.  I suspect there are other developers out
ther who could use it -- if you're lurking, now would be a good time to
make your presence known.

We did have a playback-only dshow component at one time.  I will check to
see if it's still available, and what it would take to make it current.

Try VirtualDub (www.virtualdub.org)

I hope you decide to go for it.  I'll do my best to assist you, within
reason.
