DirectShow API was introduced in Windows 98, and +gradually deprecated from Windows XP onwards. Media Foundation framework +was introduced in Windows Vista as a replacement for DirectShow and other +multimedia APIs. Consequently, WMF plugin in Qt is supported only for +Windows Vista and later versions of the operating system. + +\section1 Limitations + +The WMF plugin in Qt does not currently provide a camera backend. Instead, +limited support for camera features is provided by the DirectShow +plugin. Basic features such as displaying a viewfinder and capturing a +still image are supported, however, majority of camera controls are not +implemented. + +Video recording is currently not supported. Additionally, the DirectShow +plugin does not support any low-level video functionality such as +monitoring video frames being played or recorded using \l QVideoProbe or +related classes. +*/ diff --git a/src/multimedia/doc/src/qtmultimedia-index.qdoc b/src/multimedia/doc/src/qtmultimedia-index.qdoc index 417c0c494..4cd59fd52 100644 --- a/src/multimedia/doc/src/qtmultimedia-index.qdoc +++ b/src/multimedia/doc/src/qtmultimedia-index.qdoc @@ -131,6 +131,7 @@ \section2 Platform Notes \list \li \l{BlackBerry} + \li \l{Qt Multimedia on Windows}{Windows} \endlist \section2 Reference |
