This is the CMD to generate the classes from the schema SET XsdPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools "%XsdPath%\xsd.exe" YOUR-SCHEMA1.xsd YOUR-SCHEMA1.xsd /classes /namespace:YOUR-NAME-SPACE This is the reference:  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x6c1kb0s(v=vs.110).aspx Another good example:  https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/yojoshi/2011/05/14/auto-generating-entity-classes-with-xsd-exe-for-xml-serialization-and-de-serialization/ Then for mapping the class you can use:  https://github.com/AutoMapper/AutoMapper You can install it as a nuget package

{ System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached); ... } You can now attach and then hit Ignore on the assert popup dialog.

Basically you need to enable  NATIVE  code debugging at the managed code level and you need to enable  MIXED  debugging at the non-managed level. 1. Thor or TJMTestApp, Properties->Debug, Enable native code debugging. 2. Transcoder Engine, Properties->Debugging, change Debugger Type from Auto to Mixed. Auto chooses Managed. Stupid Microsoft. 3. (Optional) Tools->Options->Debugging->General, change "Redirect all Output window text to the Immediate window" to what you want. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8234560/outputdebugstring-does-not-work-on-windows-7x64 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9431253/outputdebugstring-doesnt-print-information-in-visual-studio-2010

This filter from GraphStudioNext's GitHub site ( https://github.com/cplussharp/graph-studio-next ) allows you to sniff media samples passed between filters. The filter is named GsnAnalyzer64.dll and can be found at  \\ la1pvarccifs.d3nw.net \Operations\Vault\Mike\graph_studio_next_helper_filters To use the filter just insert it between other filters.  You will then sniff the media samples passed between them. Open the properties of the GraphStudioNext Analyzer Filter and you will see the samples.  It does not auto-populate, you have to click on the Refresh button.

Overview FFDShow is hosted at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/ I have ported FFDShow from VS 2010 to VS 2012.  My version of FFDShow 2012 is hosted at: https://github.com/mikecancilla/ffdshow_2012 Prerequisites Before you can build FFDShow locally, you need the YASM assembler.  Its donwload page is here:  http://yasm.tortall.net/Download.html Download the " Win64 .exe  (for general use on 64-bit Windows)", which can be found here: http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0-win64.exe Put  yasm.exe  in your  PATH . Building After you have pulled down FFDShow 2012, you need to open  ffdshow_2012.sln .  Careful, if VS 2015 is installed, 2015 will attempt to open this project and it will not work.  You will most likely need to launch VS 2012 first and then open  ffdshow_2012.sln . Set the build target to  Debug x64  or  Release x64 , and the startup project to...

FFMPEG for Windows is built under MinGW or Cygwin.  We will be using MinGW. You may need ZLib, the ZLib provided with MinGW does not come with a .a file for some reason.  You can find ZLib at  https://zlib.net/ Build Zlib so that you get zlib.lib. Follow this page:  https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MSVC NOTE: When following the instructions on the above page, they only give a configure command for a release version, which is: ./configure --target-os=win64 --arch=x86_64 --toolchain=msvc If you want to do a full debug build, try this: ./configure --target-os=win64 --arch=x86_64 --toolchain=msvc --extra-cflags=" -EHa -nologo -D 'DEBUG' -D 'WINDOWS' -D 'HAVE_STRUCT_TIMESPEC' -D 'API_EXT_PARAM_LIST'" --enable-debug --disable-stripping --disable-optimizations --disable-cuda --disable-cuvid --disable-d3d11va --disable-dxva2 --disable-nvenc --disable-vaapi --disable-vdpau You should now be ready to use ffmpeg in a...

Overview Below you will find differing approaches to demuxing CC data from an MXF source.  The CC data is in an ancillary meta data stream in the MXF.  The format of the CC data is vbi_vanc_smpte_436M. I have put together a list of working solutions based on off-the-shelf software which, except for one case, we would have to purchase.  The first set of software can take an mxf file and parse out the CC data and convert that CC data to something like SAMI or SCC. Complete Solutions Telestream: $12,000 Enterprise Edition -  www.telestream.net -  http://www.telestream.net/pdfs/user-guides/CaptionMaker-UserGuide-6.4.pdf - Caption Maker - GUI: Can import MXF, process the ancillary data to 608 subs, and export to sami. - Caption Maker - Command Line: CapMaker.exe /ImportType=72 /ImportFile=file.mxf /ExportType=04 /ExportOutFile="captions.scc" - I've finally been able to evaluate the CLI.  It works fine.  Just as fast as ccConvert. - In ...

Here is my totally non-scientific, back of a napkin, H265 to H264 encoder speed comparison.  Full software, no GPU assist using FFMPEG, libx265 and libx264.

A NuGet package is a package of source, scripts, binaries, etc., plus metadata for use in Visual Studio.  The best way to think about a NuGet package is to think about it in terms you might already be familiar with: basically a zip or tar ball plus metadata.  The NuGet Package Explorer is a GUI tool which packages source, binaries, scripts, etc., plus metadata into a single file (a package) which is published to a server.  Developers can go to the server and pull your package into their Visual Studio project. If you are more command-line inclined, then go to this link: https://docs.nuget.org/create/Creating-and-Publishing-a-Package You can download the NuGet Package Explorer GUI and read about it at this link: https://docs.nuget.org/Create/using-a-gui-to-build-packages The following are some helpful topics for using the NuGet Package Explorer. To create a package: 1. You will most likely be publishing packages to some internal repository,   http:...

https://github.com/avxsynth/avxsynth/wiki Note:  Optional WINDOWS under MinGW Launch MinGW the usual way as if you are going to build FFMPEG. You are gonna need log4cpp:   http://log4cpp.sourceforge.net/ log4cpp  needs  pkg-config: You need to pull down the pkg-config utility and build it yourself.  Once built you need to "autoreconf -i" in the avxsynth src dir.  Then you will have a good configure.
