capGetVideoFormat

The capGetVideoFormat macro retrieves a copy of the video format in use. You can use this macro or explicitly call the WM_CAP_GET_VIDEOFORMAT message.

DWORD capGetVideoFormat(

hwnd,

psVideoFormat,

wSize

);

hwnd

Handle of a capture window.

psVideoFormat

Address of a BITMAPINFO structure. You can also specify NULL to retrieve the number of bytes needed by BITMAPINFO.

wSize

Size, in bytes, of the structure referenced by s.

Return Values

Returns the size, in bytes, of the video format or zero if the capture window is not connected to a capture driver. For video formats that require a palette, the current palette is also returned.

Remarks

Because compressed video formats vary in size requirements applications must first retrieve the size, then allocate memory, and finally request the video format data.
