A COM-based technology for processing multimedia data under Windows.
Overview
DirectShow, part of the Microsoft Platform SDK, is Microsoft's COM-based technology for working with media files under the Windows operating system. DirectShow's bricks are filters (such as file readers, decoders and renderers), that can be connected one to each other via pins. Connected filters comprise a DirectShow graph. An application called GraphEdit can be used to build graphs and debug filters.
A good intruduction is available at WikiPedia and more detailed info is of course located at the MSDN web site.
