DirectShow development on Windows Mobile?

Hi,

I am looking to port a current Windows XP program that uses the DirectShow
API to Windows Mobile 2003. After searching google and the Windows Mobile
2003 SDK I found that there are no native DirectShow API's for Windows Mobile
2003.

However, I found that the new upcoming Windows Mobile 5.0 will have native
DirectShow API support. I also found that the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK has
already been released.

Is there any way that I can take the libraries from the Windows Mobile 5.0
SDK and use them with the Windows Mobile 2003 SDK to develop an application
for Windows Mobile 2003 that uses DirectShow?

Thanks!
George

Unfortunately not because as you know - libs in the SDK are just bits
and pieces of data to tell the linker where the functions exist in
another piece of code. Its not actually code. The actual code is in ROM
on WM5 devices. So to make it work on WM2003 would require extracting
the DirectShow libs from a WM5 device and copying it to a WM2003 device
- and even then it probably won't work because that code probably uses
new WM5 APIs other than that. And its illegal :)
