I got a program and it returns the error WM ASF Writer not found. I searched for it online and it gave me links of how to use it when writing code. Does anyone know where I can download this?
The Windows Media ASF Writer is a DirectShow filter and should already be part of your OS (assuming Windows XP SP3, Win 7 or Windows 2008 with Desktop Extensions enabled)
The filter is also part of the Windows Media™ Format SDK

I want to use the "Video Processor MFT" of the Media Foundation transforms and I'm using Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit. But this MFT is missing on my system VS2013 en VS2015RC installed.
On a Windows 8.1 system it's there and I read at some places that it should work under Windows 7. Does someone know how to get this MFT at my system? I cannot find it anywhere.
using the media playback sample for windows store apps 8.1 and visual studio 2013:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/basic-media-playback-003619be
i tried opening any audio or video file but every time the application crashes with a file not found exception at line:
Scenario1MediaElement.SetSource(stream, file.ContentType);
and when i debugging i always find file.ContentType returning an empty string .
any one knows what's going on?!
Updating the latest version of windows 8.1 solved this issue on my side!
but the video will run only on the local machine .
to get required updates straight forward, download the latest version of media player from official Microsoft website.
I want to compile the examples of the Windows Media Device Manager 11 SDK - but I cannot figure out how to download it. The original download link doesn't work - and in the Windows SDK I cannot find the examples!
EDIT2: I want to access devices via MTP on Windows 7 with an custom application.
You could try the following link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/c/3/ac367925-39e7-4451-a175-a224f94fbdce/wmformat11sdk.exe
It was buried down in the comments on the SDK documentation.
EDIT:
If you're wanting to do MTP on Windows 7, you might want to look at the Windows 7 Portable Device Enabling Kit for MTP:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463543.aspx
The webpage you provided for that SDK states the Windows Media Device Manager 11 SDK is a component of a Microsoft Kit.
I discovered via Google search that there are different kits depending on the Windows version your using.
That same first page of hits revealed Aaron Stebner's WebLog which provides the Microsoft links you need to download this kit for Windows 7:
Microsoft Windows Media Software Development Kit
That 112.5 MB Kit also contains documentation, tools, and sample code to get you started.
Since MTP (Media Transport Protocol) is part of that Kit's framework, I'm hoping there's going to be examples provided once you download and install the MSI package the complete kit, but this should get you going in the right direction.
DirectShow samples lived under (SDK samples root)\DirectShow\ in the Windows 7.1 SDK, but the Windows 8 SDK does not have the files neither in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0 nor C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows. The samples are also not for download at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps
I believe DirectShow is to be phased out and replaced by Microsoft Media Foundation (MF). I think that's been the intention since Windows Vista, although at that time MF was not capable enough to replace DirectShow. Microsoft representatives have stated that DirectShow will not be supported in Metro UI apps.
I think dshow.h, quartz.dll, etc. are still in the Window 8 SDK kit. However, while Windows 8 will still run DirectShow programs in a normal desktop, it might be that DirectShow samples will never be included in the Windows 8 SDK or new Windows Dev Center because it is considered deprecated. I could not find anything stating this definitively, but most information about MF seems to indicate that DirectShow is not a way forward, and there was a lot of clean-up and removal of obsolete artifacts from the Windows 8 SDK.

Fwiw, there are a few unofficial samples using DirectShow in the Windows Dev Center.
Microsoft now has a github repo with the old samples: https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/master/Samples/Win7Samples/multimedia/directshow/baseclasses

The link to the Windows 7 DDK (or WDK) is not something I seem to be able to get to.
I need to write a driver that will convert the content to XPS and then do something with it. The "do something" is easy, but its the first part I'm not sure of.
I found links to the Win7 WDK but as I said above I can't get to it (my company has MSDN but I can't find it in the downloads).
As for the XPS part, I found this link which talks about XPS now available, and the resulting link to here doesn't seem to focus on drivers at all and seems more general.
I'm wondering if anyone can help with these two issues. Is writing a driver for Win7 much the same as Vista, in which case I can at least get started with the Windows 2008 WDK? And has anyone used this XPS filter pipeline to print to XPS with their own custom drivers?
Appreciate all help.
You can find a link to the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.0.0 on the How to get the WDK page.
For driver development, XPSDrv drivers developed for Vista (and the downlevel redist for XP & Server 2003) are compatible with Windows 7. However, Windows 7 adds new Win32 APIs that can be used within an XPSDrv and help with manipulating XPS content and provide a driver-safe rasterization capability.
