message: The DirectShow library have been moved to the Microsoft Platform SDK, and is hence not a part of DirectX an more . The article should be updated to account for this. --Fredrik Orderud 21:01, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

message: RN has done some excellent work in improving the quality of this article, and with the recent peer review, we've gotten a number of other ideas to work on.  I've addressed a number of those things today, including knocking out the second-person per WP:MOS#Avoid_the_second_person and improving the overall quality of wikilinks.  This article is getting better by day! Warrens 21:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Alternatives 

message: I want to point out an ambiguity in the following sentence.
"ActiveMovie was first available as an add-on to Windows 95 and that required Internet Explorer 3.0."
This sentence is composed of two independent clauses, and ought to have a comma before "and that required," but it's unclear what "that" refers to.  The sentence could mean that ActiveMovie required IE3, that Win95 required it, or that the whole clause (presumably making it available) required it. D021317c 00:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Regarding the "wikipedia unrated" status this page:
I don't know what criteria the raters use, but I for one find this article ( version as of 17 September 2007 ) to be one of the best technical/computing articles I have ever read on Wikipedia. Kudos to the authors! - Libertas 04:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it's an incredible article now; given the subject matter just amazing.  Only problem is the reliance on primary sources and new standards of inline citations and a few weasel words. All you have to cite the stuff (I've just tagged literally everything that needs it, except for the primary sourcing which might be acceptable), clean the few remaining stragglers of weasels and you've got one of the best technical featured articles ever basically. Ryan Norton 08:27, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

text: Oh by the way, large edits were performed by the original designer of DirectShow judging by the username and edit patterns; a stub + a bunch of stuff I wrote + that + contributions from various others = amazing article. Ryan Norton 08:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

message: "Microsoft plans to replace DirectShow with Media Foundation in future Windows versions beginning with Windows Vista." - Vista is now in the past, not the future...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.187.144 (talk) 02:45, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What it means is DirectShow is to be gradually phased out and replaced by Media Foundation. Vista took baby steps towards this and Windows 7 took some more. If they suddenly replaced DirectShow, it'd break lots of media stuff. - xpclient Talk 06:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs updating 

message: Hello.
It think ActiveMovie should be merged into this article. According to the article, as well as this source , ActiveMovie is the old name of DirectShow. Also, ActiveMovie is a very small article and won't add much to the size of this article.

thread_title:  Merge from ActiveMovie 

message: After replacing a citation request with the relevant DirectShow (2012-12) documentation it occured to me that this reference should already exist in the article, and in fact there is an almost identical DirectShow (2006-01) reference claiming to address Microsoft DirectShow 9.0. Somebody knowing what's better for any definition of better should unify these references. Fact: almost all "citation requests" boil down to "let me google this for you". :-( 89.204.138.20 (talk) 21:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

message: "Microsoft's MSFT Becky Weiss" should probably be "Microsoft's Becky Weiss", shoudn't it? "MSFT" likely means "Microsoft", and I believe it is a "code" attached to user names on MSDN blogs and other places, to indicate that the author works at Microsoft. It's not like "MSFT" is a title or honorific. --Andreas Rejbrand (talk) 19:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
