IMFSample::GetSampleDuration method (mfobjects.h)

Article
10/13/2021

Retrieves the duration of the sample.

Syntax

HRESULT GetSampleDuration(
  [out] LONGLONG *phnsSampleDuration
);

Parameters

[out] phnsSampleDuration

Receives the duration, in 100-nanosecond units.

Return value

The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.

Return code	Description
S_OK	The method succeeded.
MF_E_NO_SAMPLE_DURATION	The sample does not have a specified duration.

Remarks

If the sample contains more than one buffer, the duration includes the data from all of the buffers.

If the retrieved duration is zero, or if the method returns MF_E_NO_SAMPLE_DURATION, the duration is unknown. In that case, it might be possible to calculate the duration from the media type—for example, by using the video frame rate or the audio sampling rate.
