IWMCodecOutputTimestamp::GetNextOutputTime method (wmcodecdsp.h)

Queries the decoder for the time stamp of the upcoming output sample. Use this method if you need to know the time of the sample before calling IMediaObject::ProcessOutput or IMFTransform::ProcessOutput to get the sample.

Syntax

HRESULT GetNextOutputTime(
  [out] REFERENCE_TIME *prtTime
);

Parameters

[out] prtTime

Address of a variable that receives the presentation time of the next sample.

Return value

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