How does it Work?
The Mirror Video Driver is a driver that UltraVNC (for instance) can use to be quickly and efficiently notified with screen changes. Using it on an UltraVNC server results in a excellent accuracy. The video driver also makes a direct link between the video driver frammebuffer memory and UltraWinVNC server. Using the framebuffer directly eliminates the use of the CPU for intensive screen blitting, resulting in a big speed boost and very low CPU load.

Installation
If you have a previous version installed, it is recommended to uninstall it first, by doing the following: setupdrv.exe uninstall
Installation is done by setupdrv.exe install
The program setupdrv.exe is located in the folder you’ve chosen during the driver installation.
Manual Uninstall
Upgrading issue
For each version the vncdrv.sys and vnccom.sys are a pair. Vncdrv.sys is a kernel driver, so can only be unloaded on reboot. After upgrading the driver, vncdrv.sys is still the old version, but vnccom.sys is already the new one. Switching of vncdrv.sys is done on reboot. Don’t use the driver before you reboot.

Installation
Setupdrv.exe install
UNINSTALL
Setupdrv.exe uninstall
You can also use the control panal and add new hardware, select video and point to the .inf file.

Samples
screenrecorder using bitblt
same screenrecorder with mirror driver
Get rectangle list of changed screen parts
The small samples help you to implement a mirror driver in your own application
VIDEODRIVER Class
VIDEODRIVER();
Initialize MD driver Class
Usage:
VIDEODRIVER *mydriver= new VIDEODRIVER;
Don’t forget to delete
delete mydriver;
void VIDEODRIVER_start(int x,int y,int w,int h,int depth);
Attach the mirror driver
position left top corner
x=left
y=top
w=screen width
h=screen height
depth= 8/16/32 , special case 0=use current depth
1)Mirror current desktop with same size and depth
HDC hDisplayDC = CreateDC(«DISPLAY»,NULL,NULL,NULL);
int cxWidth= GetDeviceCaps(hDisplayDC,HORZRES) ;
int cyHeight = GetDeviceCaps(hDisplayDC,VERTRES);
mydriver->VIDEODRIVER_start(0,0,cxWidth,cyHeight,0);
2)Mirror current desktop with same size and depth=32
HDC hDisplayDC = CreateDC(«DISPLAY»,NULL,NULL,NULL);
int cxWidth= GetDeviceCaps(hDisplayDC,HORZRES) ;
int cyHeight = GetDeviceCaps(hDisplayDC,VERTRES);
mydriver->VIDEODRIVER_start(0,0,cxWidth,cyHeight,32);
If you mirror a part of the desktop, moving a window
in your clipped region is not proper updated.
Sample:
mydriver->VIDEODRIVER_start(10,10,320,320,32);
void VIDEODRIVER_Stop();
Detach the mirror driver
BOOL HardwareCursor();
Mirror driver show cursor as blit
Usage:
mydriver->HardwareCursor();
see screentoavi_MD sample
BOOL NoHardwareCursor();
Mirror driver eliminate cursor as part of the blits
Usage:
mydriver->NoHardwareCursor();
char *myframebuffer;
This is a memory buffer that contain your screen in the format you specified
32 RGBARGBARGBARGBA
Instead of using bitblit you can now use memcpy to get access to the screen data.
Usage:
see screentoavi_MD sample
PCHANGES_BUF mypchangebuf;
This is a ringbuffer that contain the changed parts.
format:
typedef struct _CHANGES_RECORD
<
ULONG type; //screen_to_screen, blit, newcache,oldcache
RECT rect;
POINT point;
>CHANGES_RECORD;
typedef CHANGES_RECORD *PCHANGES_RECORD;
typedef struct _CHANGES_BUF
<
ULONG counter;
CHANGES_RECORD pointrect[MAXCHANGES_BUF];
>CHANGES_BUF;
typedef CHANGES_BUF *PCHANGES_BUF;
The driver record the rect changes, the application need to remember the old position
to extract the needed updates
Usage:
See changed_screen_parts sample
