IAMVideoCompression::put_WindowSize method (strmif.h)

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The put_WindowSize method sets the number of frames over which the compressor must maintain an average data rate.

For example, assuming a data rate of 100K/sec and a frame rate of 10 frames per second, if the window size is 1, then every frame will be 10K or less. If the window size is 5, then every five consecutive frames must average 10K per frame, but individual frames may exceed this size.

Syntax

HRESULT put_WindowSize(
  [in] DWORDLONG WindowSize
);

Parameters
