How can I uninstall the DirectShow filter of the SDK manually?

Products: Video Capture SDK .Net, Video Edit SDK .Net, Media Player SDK .Net

Using the SDK Installer

Filters can usually be uninstalled using the SDK installer or the Applications menu in Windows Settings. SDK redists can also register DirectShow filters. Make sure you have properly uninstalled the SDK and SDK redists.

Using the regsvr32 tool

To manually unregister DirectShow filters, you can use the regsvr32 tool. The tool is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder and should be run with admin privileges.

You can use the GraphStudio application to check the list of installed filters and find the location of the filter.

Filters for x64 and x86 platforms are independent. You should unregister both filters if you have installed both versions.
