SetMerit Method

Example 





String used for the Display Name or Friendly Name of the filter. It is best to use the "Display Name" since it is unique and no two filters can have the same Display Name. On the contrary, two or more filters can have the same Friendly Name. When two or more filters have the same Friendly name, this function works on the first filter it internally enumerates having the specified friendly name.
The new merit value for the specified DirectShow filter.
Sets the DirectShow filter Merit.

Parameters

Name
String used for the Display Name or Friendly Name of the filter. It is best to use the "Display Name" since it is unique and no two filters can have the same Display Name. On the contrary, two or more filters can have the same Friendly Name. When two or more filters have the same Friendly name, this function works on the first filter it internally enumerates having the specified friendly name.
Value
The new merit value for the specified DirectShow filter.
Remarks
For more information, refer to the Microsoft documentation for DirectShow Merits http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd390674(VS.85).aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa920889.aspx http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/articles/40395.aspx A Display Name uniquely identifies a DirectShow filter (or any filter). Display names for software filters have the following format: @device:sw:GUID\\GUID, example: Microsoft’s “MPEG-2 Splitter” display name is: @device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\\{3AE86B20-7BE8-11D1-ABE6-00A0C905F375}. A Friendly Name is not unique and one or more filters can have the same name. However, it is ideal for presenting a descriptive name in user interfaces. For example, the Friendly Name for Microsoft’s MPEG-2 Splitter is "MPEG-2 Splitter"
