CodecAPIEventData structure (strmif.h)
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 CodecAPIEventData structure contains event data for the EC_CODECAPI_EVENT event. This event is sent by codecs that support the ICodecAPI interface.

GUID guid;
DWORD dataLength;
DWORD reserved[3];
};
Members
