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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 |
|---|---|
|
Each index entry points to another index. Treat the AVIMETAINDEX structure as an AVISUPERINDEX structure. The value of bIndexSubType must be zero. |
|
Each index entry points to a data chunk in the file.
|
|
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.
