Capture desktop screenshot( as bmp) with Windows Media Encoder APIs

[akgalp]

Hi gurus,

I have used windows media apis to capture desktop and store as movie files.
now i need to capture desktop screen using media apis, but need the output as bmps ( not as movie files, but still need fast captures )
as far as i understand( or searched ), WM encoder outputs only movie files.

Is there any method to capture the desktop using Windows Media Encoder APIs and get the frames as bmps?

Thanks in advance
