DXVA2_VideoDesc structure (dxva2api.h)

Describes a video stream for a DXVA decoder device or video processor device.

Syntax

typedef struct _DXVA2_VideoDesc {
  UINT                 SampleWidth;
  UINT                 SampleHeight;
  DXVA2_ExtendedFormat SampleFormat;
  D3DFORMAT            Format;
  DXVA2_Frequency      InputSampleFreq;
  DXVA2_Frequency      OutputFrameFreq;
  UINT                 UABProtectionLevel;
  UINT                 Reserved;
} DXVA2_VideoDesc;

Members

SampleWidth

Width of the video frame, in pixels.

SampleHeight

Height of the video frame, in pixels.

SampleFormat

Additional details about the video format, specified as a DXVA2_ExtendedFormat structure.

Format

Surface format, specified as a D3DFORMAT value or FOURCC code. A FOURCC code can be constructed using the D3DFORMAT or MAKEFOURCC macros.

InputSampleFreq

Frame rate of the input video stream, specified as a DXVA2_Frequency structure.

OutputFrameFreq

Frame rate of the output video, specified as a DXVA2_Frequency structure.

UABProtectionLevel

Level of data protection required when the user accessible bus (UAB) is present. If TRUE, the video must be protected when a UAB is present. If FALSE, the video is not required to be protected.

Reserved

Reserved. Must be zero.

Remarks

The InputSampleFreq member gives the frame rate of the decoded video stream, as received by the video renderer. The OutputFrameFreq member gives the frame rate of the video that is displayed after deinterlacing. If the input video is interlaced and the samples contain interleaved fields, the output frame rate is twice the input frame rate. If the input video is progressive or contains single fields, the output frame rate is the same as the input frame rate.

Decoders should set the values of InputSampleFreq and OutputFrameFreq if the frame rate is known. Otherwise, set these members to 0/0 to indicate an unknown frame rate.

Examples

The following code converts a Media Foundation media type, represented using the IMFMediaType interface, into a DXVA2_VideoDesc structure.

// Fills in the DXVA2_ExtendedFormat structure.
void GetDXVA2ExtendedFormatFromMFMediaType(
    IMFMediaType *pType, 
    DXVA2_ExtendedFormat *pFormat
)
{
    // Get the interlace mode.
    MFVideoInterlaceMode interlace = 
        (MFVideoInterlaceMode)MFGetAttributeUINT32(
            pType, MF_MT_INTERLACE_MODE, MFVideoInterlace_Unknown
         );

    // The values for interlace mode translate directly, except for mixed 
    // interlace or progressive mode.

    if (interlace == MFVideoInterlace_MixedInterlaceOrProgressive)
    {
        // Default to interleaved fields.
        pFormat->SampleFormat = DXVA2_SampleFieldInterleavedEvenFirst;
    }
    else
    {
        pFormat->SampleFormat = (UINT)interlace;
    }

    // The remaining values translate directly.
    
    // Use the "no-fail" attribute functions and default to "unknown."
    
    pFormat->VideoChromaSubsampling = MFGetAttributeUINT32(
        pType, MF_MT_VIDEO_CHROMA_SITING, MFVideoChromaSubsampling_Unknown);

        pType, MF_MT_VIDEO_NOMINAL_RANGE, MFNominalRange_Unknown);

        pType, MF_MT_VIDEO_PRIMARIES, MFVideoPrimaries_Unknown);

    pFormat->VideoTransferFunction = MFGetAttributeUINT32(
        pType, MF_MT_TRANSFER_FUNCTION, MFVideoTransFunc_Unknown);
