Windows Device Manager Video Capture Devices and Video for Windows Applications
Applications that use the Video for Windows 1.1 (VFW) interfaces also use drivers that conform to the VfW 1.1 driver interfaces. However, with the new Windows Device Manager (WDM) video capture interfaces in Windows 98, applications can no longer use the VfW interfaces to directly communicate with these WDM-based devices. Windows 98 includes a software layer that translates VfW 1.1 interfaces into WDM video capture interfaces. This translation software works only for video capture devices on external busses (USB and 1394) in Windows 98. Analog capture devices (such as PCI cards with video decoder chips that use WDM drivers) cannot use this translation software. The original VfW drivers for these analog capture devices will continue to work but they cannot be used in combination with the newer WDM drivers. In the future, an updated version of this translation software will be available that allows WDM-based analog capture devices to be used through the VfW 1.1 interfaces.
