Inheritance

IMFVideoMediaType::GetVideoRepresentation

Remarks

If the major type of a media type is MFMediaType_Video, you can query the media type object for the IMFVideoMediaType interface.

Applications should avoid using this interface except when a method or function requires an IMFVideoMediaType pointer as a parameter. You can get all of the format information from a video media type through the IMFAttributes interface, which IMFMediaType inherits.
