AMCap is a small yet fully functional video capture and preview application compatible with Microsoft DirectShow (formerly ActiveMovie, hence the name). It is based on the sample AMCap source code from the Microsoft DirectX 9 SDK. This custom version adds many new features including:

DV camcorder playback and recording
improved MPEG-2 playback and recording
improved analog TV tuner support
still capture in BMP, JPEG and PNG formats
optional real-time compression (Windows Media or any installed CODECs)
remember video input, standard, size and many other options from previous session
full screen mode
support for multi-monitor and deinterlacing (using VMR9)
caption bar and menu on/off
always on top feature
The VMR9 option enables support for the multi-monitor, zooming, aspect ratio and deinterlacing features (Microsoft DirectX 9.0 required.)

The registered version includes a new stillcap application that allows you to easily make still captures from a script, an application, a command prompt, the task scheduler, etc.
