-If you have a video capture card (ex: !AverMedia, possibly some !BlackMagic, though it may be a separate unrelated problem, and also some !BlackMagic cards don't have the right inputs set up ask on the forum), it may not work (yet) out of the box with FFmpeg, as it lacks crossbar support presently.  The work around currently is to install the AmerecTV software, which presents the capture card as directshow devices, then input the AmerecTV directshow devices into your FFmpeg. See [http://www.ffsplit.com/forums/showthread.php?422-Filter-How-to-use-a-capture-card-with-AmarecTV here].

 == Using !DirectShow with libav* ==
 
-Basically, you can accept input dshow input into you program that uses, see [[Using libav*]] to know what libav does.  See http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=274&p=902&hilit=dictionary#p902

+You can use dshow input via the libavXXX libraries (i.e. directly into your own program) instead of calling out to ffmpeg.exe.  See [[Using libav*]] for an intro to using libav.  See also http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=274&p=902&hilit=dictionary#p902
 
 == How to programmatically enumerate devices ==
 
-FFmpeg does not provide a native way to do this yet, but you can lookup the devices yourself or just parse standard out from ffmpeg:
