Usually you register the directshow filter into system by calling (from an elevated command prompt window on windows vista/7) regsvr32 filter.dll.

After the registration process you can use your filter with a directshow graph viewing application:

  • GraphEdit (graphedt.exe), installed by Windows SDK (ex. "c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\graphedt.exe" )
  • GraphStudio

After testing your filter with the above programs you can use it in a C++/C# client application.
