We have code originally written for Win3.1 that uses VFW to stream video from a video capture card; the code needs to be ported to WinCE 6.0 somehow or another within a very tight deadline. That being said, here's the details:
1. MFC app
2. Native code only (I figured that I should explicitly state this, even though I think it's implied by #1)
3. Original implementation uses only AVICAP functionality from VFW
4. WinCE does not directly support VFW
5. I'm a freshout with no experience in multimedia or COM development
6. We have no one with COM experience
Solutions as I see them, in order of preference:
1 -- Somehow manage to implement VFW for WinCE so we can use all of our current code directly
2 to (LAST_RESORT - 1) -- Any thing other than (1) or (LAST_RESORT_SOLUTION).
LAST_RESORT -- Implement the current functionality using DirectShow
Another consideration for the solution to this problem: The technical risk, from a management perspective, of a new implementation (i.e. non-VFW) is weighing very heavily on the selected solution. Please keep this in mind.
Unfortunately, I can't post any of our code, but I'll do my best to be as clear and descriptive as possible and I'll try to come up with comparable examples as necessary.
Thanks in advance for the help!
