I think DirectX is faster than GDI or other way.My language is VC;OS is windows 7.I'm trying to writing a project to capture a window,add something to it,convert to video,then push it to the internet for real time.But I don't konw how to convert the buffers to video,coule show me a way?

Of course DirectX is faster then GDI, but video compression does not have to do with either at all. You simply make one file out of many picture files, right? :-)
Please see my answer. See the documentation of FFmpeg.

You means by FFmpeg?Can I do it by my code?

Yes of course, because this is also a library. Besides, you can simply execute the utility as a child process of your application...

I saw this solution which I don't like very much: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/251467/how-can-i-create-a-video-from-a-directory-of-images-in-c[^].

You can try to find some more: http://bit.ly/14NTPTx[^].

I wouldn't to it. I would prefer to use FFmpeg which perfectly does this, as well as many other things. Please see my past answer:

I agree with using FFmpeg. +5x2. It sounds like OP would be new to DirectShow and that might be a steep learning curve.
