MFCreateVideoMediaType function (mfapi.h)
[This API is not supported and may be altered or unavailable in the future. Applications should avoid using the MFVIDEOFORMAT structure, and use media type attributes instead. For more information, see Video Media Types.]
Creates a video media type from an MFVIDEOFORMAT structure.

[in] const MFVIDEOFORMAT *pVideoFormat,
[out] IMFVideoMediaType **ppIVideoMediaType
);
Parameters

[out] ppIVideoMediaType
