ICaptureGraphBuilder2::SetOutputFileName (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This method creates the file writing section of the filter graph.

Syntax

HRESULT SetOutputFileName(
  const GUID*       pType,
  LPCOLESTR         lpwstrFile,
  IBaseFilter**     ppf,
  IFileSinkFilter** pSink
);

Parameters

• pType
  [in] Pointer to a GUID that represents either the media subtype of the output or the class identifier (CLSID) of a multiplexer filter or file writer filter. If you specify a media subtype, it must be one of the subtypes shown in the following table.

  Value	Description
  MEDIASUBTYPE_Avi	Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI)
  MEDIASUBTYPE_Asf	Advanced Systems Format (ASF)

• lpwstrFile
  [in] Pointer to a wide-character string that contains the output file name.

• ppf
  [out] Address of a pointer that receives the multiplexer's IBaseFilter Interface.

• pSink
  [out] Address of a pointer that receives the file writer's IFileSinkFilter2 Interface. Can be NULL.

Return Value

Returns an HRESULT value. The following table shows some possible return values.

Remarks

This method creates a multiplexer filter based on the value of the pType parameter. For AVI, it creates the AVI Mux Filter. For ASF, it creates the WM ASF Writer. For other values, it creates the filter identified by the CLSID. It adds the multiplexer to the filter graph, and returns a pointer to its IBaseFilter interface in the ppf parameter.

If the multiplexer supports the IFileSinkFilter2 interface, the method calls IFileSinkFilter::SetFileName to set the output file name, using the value given in the lpwstrFile parameter.

You can use the pointer to the multiplexer filter, returned in the ppf parameter, as the pSink parameter in the ICaptureGraphBuilder2::RenderStream method.

For custom multiplexer filters, the method fails if the filter does not support a connection on its output pin before its input pins are connected.

If the method succeeds, the IBaseFilter Interface returned in the ppf parameter has an outstanding reference count. If the method succeeds and pSink is not NULL, the IFileSinkFilter Interface also has an outstanding reference count. Be sure to release both interfaces when you are done using them.
