AMVABUFFERINFO structure (amva.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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 AMVABUFFERINFO structure specifies a buffer for the IAMVideoAccelerator::Execute method.

Syntax

typedef struct _tag_AMVABUFFERINFO {
  DWORD dwTypeIndex;
  DWORD dwBufferIndex;
  DWORD dwDataOffset;
  DWORD dwDataSize;
} AMVABUFFERINFO, *LPAMVABUFFERINFO;
