a sample WDM stream class video capture driver that supports Two IEEE 1394 digital cameras.
The same driver may be able to support other digital cameras that conform to 1394-based Digital Camera Specification from 1394 Trade Association.
Digital camera supported by dcam.sys is a data source that produces digital image data without any other input connection. It manifests itself in a DirectShow graph as a WDM Streaming Capture Device and as a capture filter that has output capture stream supporting image sizes of 320x240 with a UYVY color space. Its de-compressor, Msyuv.dll, is part of the OS delivery, and it can convert image data format from UYVY to RGB16, RGB8, or to a Direct Draw surface if the video card supports UYVY format.
