There is a forum on bottom of the article page.
It is a better place to contact the author.

Maybe you are missing the correct CODEC, see: How to Play WMV Files[^]

As the article is quite old (2009) it might not work anymore on Windows 10.

Quote:
I did not test this example with VS 2008 yet. DirectShowLib V2.0 is ok, I think you should also use option VS2005 (also needed for VS 2005). Probably you have to correct the Direct.Capture directory and the directory/filename of theDirectShowLib file. That is system dependent.

It could be that the example program needs an older DirectX version, probably DirectX 9. See: Download DirectX 9, 10, 11 Offline Installers[^]
