On windows 10, the game's videos play in a separate, small "ActiveMovie" window. Using dgvoodoo doesn't make a difference.

Is this something that simply cannot be handled by dgvoodoo, or is it a wrapping bug?

The other posts I could find mentioning something similar:
Ultra Street Fighter IV crashing at start up. (although here it seems dgvoodoo wasn't even applied properly)

Those games does not tell DirectShow to embed the video output window into the game rendering window as a child window.
dgVoodoo does not handle that case but leave it all to DirectShow.

I improved it and dgVoodoo now handles that case but unfortunately I cannot make it perfect. The video output is a separate top-level window which is not compatible with full screen DXGI (you cannot have an active window in front of the fullscreen game rendering window).
