[FFmpeg-user] How can we enable dshow format in ffmpeg when compiling on windows?

[sreerag r]

Hi,
I tried out VLC directshow capture mode. It is working fine. But using VLC's
dirctshow mode we can't do RTMP streaming.
I need to stream webcam video to a Flash media server using dshow.
If have any idea please reply me..
Thanks in advance..
