DirectX Media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DirectX Media was an external API set that was used for media streaming applications. DirectX Media included the components required by Microsoft Windows music and audio applications that use DirectAnimation, DirectShow and DirectX Transform. These components provided support for animation, and media streaming.

DirectX Media runtime components were distributed as part of Internet Explorer. DirectX Media SDK and DirectX SDK existed as two separate SDKs until DirectX 6.0. Later on, Microsoft deprecated DirectX Media and integrated DirectShow, the key part of DirectX Media, into DirectX. As of April 2005, DirectShow was removed from DirectX and moved to the Microsoft Platform SDK instead. DirectX is, however, still required to build the DirectShow samples.
