I don't know what should be special in DirectShow. It is just a library as many thousand other libraries. So: Yes, you can use DirectShow and Qt library in the same program.

But as I have never worked with MS specific libraries of any kind (to be honest, that's a lie; today I called PostMessage() which seems to be a Win32 function) I cannot say how to embed DirectShow "elements" (are they called widgets or objects or controls?) into a Qt form.

I don't think you need DirectShow. Qt already offers you anything DirectShow might have. You have QGraphicsView for cools graphics as well as Phonon to play music and videos. What do you plan to do with DirectShow? Perhaps we can offer you a Qt alternative.
