VisioForge .Net SDKs - Sample Projects
This repository contains sample projects demonstrating the capabilities of VisioForge .Net SDKs for video/audio capture, editing, playback, and processing.
Start Here - New to VisioForge?
If you are evaluating a SKU on Windows for the first time, open the matching start-here solution in Visual Studio and press Run. Each one is a single working sample (WPF, .NET 8), scoped to its own product, so you can evaluate before diving into the full demo sets.
X vs classic. The X SDKs are cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS) and are the recommended starting point for a new Windows evaluation. The non-X variants are the legacy DirectShow cores — Windows-only, kept for existing integrations.
Repository Structure
- Video Capture SDK X - Cross-platform video capture (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, iOS)
- Media Player SDK X - Cross-platform media player
- Video Edit SDK X - Cross-platform video editing
- Video Capture SDK - Video and audio capture with encoding (Windows, DirectShow)
- Media Player SDK - Advanced media playback (Windows, DirectShow)
- Video Edit SDK - Video editing and conversion (Windows, DirectShow)
- Media Blocks SDK - Modular pipeline-based video processing framework
- Video Fingerprinting SDK - Video content recognition and fingerprinting
Quick Start
- Clone this repository
- Open a start-here solution (
Start Here - Capture.sln, Start Here - Player.sln, or Start Here - Edit.sln) in Visual Studio for a single simple demo, or a per-SDK solution folder for the full demo set
- Build the solution to restore NuGet packages automatically
- Run the demo application
Most demo applications contain unmanaged NuGet redist packages specific to the SDK and platform used. The packages are automatically downloaded during the build process.
