DMO_MEDIA_TYPE (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This structure describes the format of the data used by a stream in a DirectX DMO. This structure is identical to the Microsoft DirectShow AM_MEDIA_TYPE structure.

Syntax

typedef struct _DMOMediaType {
  GUID majortype;
  GUID subtype;
  BOOL bFixedSizeSamples;
  BOOL bTemporalCompression;
  ULONG lSampleSize;
  GUID formattype;
  IUnknown* pUnk;
  ULONG cbFormat;
  [size_is(cbFormat)] BYTE* pbFormat;
 } DMO_MEDIA_TYPE;

Members

  • majortype
    A GUID identifying the stream's major media type. This must be one of the DMO Media Types.
  • subtype
    Subtype GUID of the stream.
  • bFixedSizeSamples
    If TRUE, samples are of a fixed size. This field is informational only. For audio, it is generally set to TRUE. For video, it is usually TRUE for uncompressed video and FALSE for compressed video.
  • bTemporalCompression
    If TRUE, samples are compressed using temporal (interframe) compression. A value of TRUE indicates that not all frames are key frames. This field is informational only.
  • lSampleSize
    Size of the sample, in bytes. For compressed data, the value can be zero.
  • formattype
    GUID specifying the format type. The pbFormat member points to the corresponding format structure. Format types include the following.

    FORMAT_MPEG2Video

    MPEG2VIDEOINFO

    FORMAT_VideoInfo

    VIDEOINFOHEADER

    FORMAT_VideoInfo2

    VIDEOINFOHEADER2

    FORMAT_WaveFormatEx

    WAVEFORMATEX

  • pUnk
    Not used.
  • cbFormat
    Size of the format block of the media type.
  • pbFormat
    Pointer to the format structure. The structure type is specified by the formattype member. The format structure must be present, unless formattype is GUID_NULL or FORMAT_None.

Remarks

The bFixedSizeSamples, bTemporalCompression, and lSampleSize members are for compatibility with DirectShow. Other DMO clients are not required to use them.
