   Directshow C++ - gigalink stream from lan as source
  Hey everyone, good to be hereI'm developing a C++ application using directshow to handle video operationsI need to handle 3 video sources:1. File on local machine - Done.2. External device - Done3. Gigalink stream from LAN - ??? i need your help on this one...What is this Gigalink format ? are there any existing direcshow filters that can handle this format ?Any help on this subject will be greatly appreciatedWith thanksOded   
  I believe it means opening the file stream over a gigabit ethernet connection, not an actual file format. "Link" in this context is a physical network interface (ethernet card or equivalent).Windows will handle files over networks quite transparently, so you don't necessary have to modify your existing logic at all to do this. The exception is that if you explicitly assume that a file path must contain a drive identification (for example, "c:"), this assumption is false in raw UNC (network file path) addresses. DirectShow file source interfaces themselves understand these paths just fine.   ;  Tnx allot for the Info, I'll check it outG'dayOded
