AVstream Driver Development on Windows XP

Hello All,

I want to write AVstream miniport driver for image capture board which is
mounted on the PC side through PCI bus interface
is it possible to write a driver with WDM framework which will work upon
Windows XP as well as Windows Vista
or should i need to write different driver for Windows XP & Windows Vista
And give me your opinion about to write AVstream miniport driver compatible
with Windows XP as well as Windows Vista
which driver framework should i use…???

Thanks,

Regards,

AVStream drivers are WDM drivers. They are not KMDF. AVStream takes
care of many of the same details that KMDF does, so there’s no real
incentive to combine the two.

A single AVStream driver binary will work clear back to Windows 2000,
and even Windows 98, as long as you install DirectX 8.

If you are interested in having someone do this work for you, contact me
off-list.
