IMFFactory

Operates a frame's creation

Methods

MFFrameClone

Gets a clone of the frame. See eMFrameClone for more information about clone types. If _fccPixelFormat is not eMFCC_Default and not the original, then the video will be copied even for reference frames. Note: If the frame is out-of-process, the clone ALSO out-of-process. You should call MFFrameMakeLocal() for such frames.

Syntax

void MFFrameClone( 
   object _pMFFrame,
   out MFFrame _ppFrameClone,
   eMFrameClone _eCloneType,
   eMFCC _fccPixelFormat
)

Parameters

_pMFFrame - source frame object
_ppFrameClone - result frame
_eCloneType - clone's type
_fccPixelFormat - pixel's format

MFFrameCreateFromFile

Creates a frame from a file

Syntax

void MFFrameCreateFromFile( 
   string _bsFileName,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame,
   string _bsPropsList
)

Parameters

_bsFileName - path to a source file (JPEG, PNG, BMP or TIFF image)
_ppFrame - result frame
_bsPropsList - additional properties

MFFrameCreateFromHBITMAP

Creates a frame from an HBitmap object

Syntax

void MFFrameCreateFromHBITMAP( 
   long _hBitmap,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame,
   string _bsPropsList
)

Parameters

_hBitmap - bitmap handle object
_ppFrame - result frame
_bsPropsList - additional properties

MFFrameCreateFromMem

Creates a frame from memory

Syntax

void MFFrameCreateFromMem( 
   ref M_AV_PROPS _pAVProps,
   long _lpVideo,
   int _lAudioSamples,
   long _lpAudio,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame,
   string _bsPropsList
)

Parameters

_pAVProps - media properties for a frame
_lpVideo - pointer to video data
_lAudioSamples - number of audio samples
_lpAudio - pointer to audio data
_ppFrame - result frame
_bsPropsList - additional properties

MFFrameCreateFromMemEx

Extended method to create a frame (MFFrame object) from memory

Syntax

void MFFrameCreateFromMemEx( 
   ref M_AV_PROPS _pAVProps,
   ref MF_VID_PTR _pVideoPtr,
   int _lAudioSamples,
   long _lpAudio,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame,
   string _bsPropsList
)

Parameters

_pAVProps - media properties
_pVideoPtr - a structure of video pointer
_lAudioSamples - the amount of audio samples
_lpAudio - a pointer to audio data
_ppFrame - result MFFrame object
_bsPropsList - additional properties

MFFrameCreateFromTexture

Creates an MFFrame object from D3D texture

Syntax

void MFFrameCreateFromTexture( 
   ref M_AV_PROPS _pAVProps,
   object _pD3DTexture2D,
   int _lAudioSamples,
   long _lpAudio,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame,
   string _bsPropsList
)

Parameters

_pAVProps - media properties
_pD3DTexture2D - D3D texture object
_lAudioSamples - the amount of audio samples
_lpAudio - a pointer to audio data
_ppFrame - result MFFrame object
_bsPropsList - additional properties

MFFrameCreatePlain

Creates a plain (empty) frame

Syntax

void MFFrameCreatePlain( 
   int _cbVideoSize,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame
)

Parameters

_cbVideoSize - video data size (for empty frame set it to 0)
_ppFrame - result frame object

MFFrameCreateWrapper

Creates frame from the object (e.g. WICBitmapLock, D3D9Surface, MediaSample, NSSBuffer - etc) - just keep a reference to the external object and use memory pointer.

Syntax

void MFFrameCreateWrapper( 
   ref M_VID_PROPS _pVidProps,
   uint _cbVideo,
   long _lpVideo,
   object _pObject,
   out MFFrame _ppFrame
)

Parameters

_pVidProps - video properties
_cbVideo - video data size
_lpVideo - video data pointer in memory
_pObject - wrapper object
_ppFrame - output frame

MFFrameMakeLocal

Makes a local copy of the external frame. For interprocess communication. Before using a frame from another process make sure that you call this method.

Syntax

void MFFrameMakeLocal( 
   object _pMFFrame,
   out MFFrame _ppFrameLocal,
   int _bAlwaysClone
)

Parameters

_pMFFrame - source frame object
_ppFrameLocal - result frame
_bAlwaysClone - indicates whether will be a frame's clone created
