出于兴趣一直以来都断断续续看过dshow的东西，可没怎么系统地总结过(学习还是要多实践，多总结啊).

dshow预览摄像头捕捉的视频比较简单基础，网上相关的资料很多，简单的思路由下面代码所示:

ICaptureGraphBuilder2 *pBuild; // Capture Graph Builder
// Initialize pBuild (not shown).
IBaseFilter *pCap; // Video capture filter.
/* Initialize pCap and add it to the filter graph (not shown). */
hr = pBuild->RenderStream(&PIN_CATEGORY_PREVIEW, &MEDIATYPE_Video,
 pCap, NULL, NULL);

			break;
		}	
		else{
			pMoniker->Release();
			continue; //尝试下一个

	}
