I have Vista Ultimate.From where can i see that Directx9 is installed on my PC.
The Dxdiag command mentions only D10.
And another q is if i can have D9 and D10 both without problems?

Thank you.

for example search for file d3d9.dll . If you have such that means that you
have directx9 instaled:) I can be mistaken but I think that every directx
version had older liberies included.

Yes, you can have DX9 & 10 on your machine at the same time with no issues.
You can reinstall DX9.0c from this site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

And Vista comes with DX9.0l, but if the game was made with components from
9.0c, then you may need to install that version as well. It doesn't harm
anything, it only installs the components from that version without
rewriting any other files.

DirectX diag does not always come true...
Well, when you play lower than the highest setting it usually lower than
DX10 and use DX9 instead...

Try go to game explorer and click on one of the game (Don't double click.)
Click on the down arrow beside the Play button and you sometime can see:
"Play as DirectX 9" or "Play as DirectX 10."

3. Integrating directshow video playback in a directx9 game engine

Hi.

I'm currently working on integrating avi playback into my company's engine 
and I need some advice about the best way to do it.

We currently have a video for windows (vfw) solution in place, but it is 
slow and doesn't have a good range of compatibility. Recently I've been 
looking into DirectShow and VMR9 in particular.

None of the possible solutions I have come up with are perfect for our needs.

VMR9 seems like the best solution but would require us to have a 
multi-threaded d3d device, this is a problem because we lose 5-15% of our d3d 
performance just for switching that on. Also, we are inexperienced with 
thread safety. I am currently using the 'Allocator' sample in the dshow sdk 
as a reference.

The frame grabber suffers the same drawbacks, but would require us to write 
a software blit routine.

The IMediaDet system could remove the dependency on threads, as we can 
extract one frame at a time, explicitly, in our render loop. Again, this 
requires a software blit to get the image into our engine.

So my ideal solution would be a VMR9 based graph that I can use to extract a 
frame at a time without the need for threading.

It was also suggested that I could render the movie on a seperate (multi 
threaded) d3d device then software blit onto textures in the main device, 
which isn't multi threaded.

Any advice in this would be greatly appreciated.
