Where are the DirectShow samples in the Windows 8 SDK?

I believe DirectShow is to be phased out and replaced by Microsoft Media Foundation (MF). I think that's been the intention since Windows Vista, although at that time MF was not capable enough to replace DirectShow. Microsoft representatives have stated that DirectShow will not be supported in Metro UI apps.

I think dshow.h, quartz.dll, etc. are still in the Window 8 SDK kit. However, while Windows 8 will still run DirectShow programs in a normal desktop, it might be that DirectShow samples will never be included in the Windows 8 SDK or new Windows Dev Center because it is considered deprecated. I could not find anything stating this definitively, but most information about MF seems to indicate that DirectShow is not a way forward, and there was a lot of clean-up and removal of obsolete artifacts from the Windows 8 SDK.

Fwiw, there are a few unofficial samples using DirectShow in the Windows Dev Center.

Have you tried Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8 (desktop and Win32 apps)?
