Low framerate in directshow grabbing

[Miroslav Andel]

Hi, It seems impossible to capture different devices in their native framerate using directshow in higher resolutions.

I have tested epiphan USB3 grabbers as well as hi-end professional PCIe datapath grabbers and get lower framerates than other directshow applications.

As example i get (on different computers and devices)

~43-48 fps when capturing 1080p60 content
~23 fps when capturing 2048x2048 at 30 Hz content
~12 fps when capturing UHD 3840x2160 at 30 Hz content

I have tested different ffmpeg releases (both GPL and custom LGPL) with the same results. The version I'm running right now is the following:
