AVIMETAINDEX structure (aviriff.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 base structure for an AVI 2.0 index ('indx' format).

Syntax

typedef struct _avimetaindex {
  FOURCC fcc;
  UINT   cb;
  WORD   wLongsPerEntry;
  BYTE   bIndexSubType;
  BYTE   bIndexType;
  DWORD  nEntriesInUse;
  DWORD  dwChunkId;
  DWORD  dwReserved[3];
  DWORD  adwIndex[];
} AVIMETAINDEX;

Members

fcc

A FOURCC code. The value is either 'indx' or 'nnix', where nn is the stream number.

cb

The size of the structure, not including the initial 8 bytes.

wLongsPerEntry

The size of each index entry, in 4-byte units.

bIndexSubType

The index subtype. The meaning depends on the value of bIndexType.

bIndexType

The index type.

Value Meaning
AVI_INDEX_OF_INDEXES
0x00
Each index entry points to another index. Treat the AVIMETAINDEX structure as an AVISUPERINDEX structure. The value of bIndexSubType must be zero.
AVI_INDEX_OF_CHUNKS
0x01
Each index entry points to a data chunk in the file.
  • If bIndexSubType is 0, treat the AVIMETAINDEX structure as an AVISTDINDEX structure. Each index entry is an AVISTDINDEX_ENTRY structure.
  • If bIndexSubType is AVI_INDEX_SUB_2FIELD, the index is a field index chunk.
    Note  DirectShow does not support field indexes.
     
AVI_INDEX_IS_DATA
0x80
The adwIndex array contains a table of data, not a list of index entries.

nEntriesInUse

The number of valid entries in the adwIndex array.

dwChunkId

A FOURCC that identifies the object that is indexed. If the indexed object is a stream, this member has the same meaning as the dwChunkId member of the AVIOLDINDEX structure.

dwReserved[3]

The meaning of this member depends on the index type.

adwIndex

An array of index entries. The format of this data depends on the index type.
