MONOGRAM GraphStudio

MONOGRAM GraphStudio is an open source software application that integrates the same features found in the well-known utility, GraphEdit, along with several other handy options for building and testing filter graphs for DirectShow.

The tool is able to process file writers, multiple filters and audio/video renders, detect broken registry entries, schedule events, as well as construct graphs.

For those users accustomed to working with GraphEdit, the GUI comes as no surprise. Actually, MONOGRAM GraphStudio adopts the same familiar layout implemented by GraphEdit, so you can easily decode the dedicated parameters.

Files can be dragged and dropped into the main window, and the tool automatically reads the filters (which are displayed as boxes, with a text caption showing the name of the filter), input and output pins, pin connections, as well as detailed properties of pins and connections.

The app is able to automatically build a filter graph that plays the current selection, and allows you to start, pause or stop the graph, seek to a specified position, and refresh the graph display.

MONOGRAM GraphStudio lets you import graph data from GRF or XML file format, video files (e.g. AVI, MP4, MPG, TS, MKV, FLV, MOV, VOB), or audio items (e.g. AAC, AC3, MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE, WAV), render a user-defined URL, connect to a remote graph, as well as print or export graph info to GRF or XML file format.

The tool lets you insert the desired filter, choose between a multitude of filters from a drop-down list, and check out comprehensive information about each filter, such as name, type, merit, version, filename, path, creation date, size, registered pins, and media types.

What’s more, you can take a screenshot with the graph and copy the photo to the clipboard, duplicate selected filters, manage your filters, as well as schedule events.

You can make the application build a graph construction report, view a list with graph events, get detailed text information about the filters and connections (and copy data to the clipboard), as well as carry out video decoder performance tests.

MONOGRAM GraphStudio integrates a handy suite of features and provides a user-friendly environment for helping you test multiple filters, file writers, audio or video renderers. The intuitive layout makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
