MFT_MESSAGE_COMMAND_MARKER

Marks a point in the stream. This message applies only to Asynchronous MFTs.

Message Parameter

An arbitrary value. The MFT returns the value to the client in the METransformMarker event.

Remarks

To send this message, call IMFTransform::ProcessMessage.

The MFT responds to this message as follows:

  1. The MFT generates as many output samples as it can from the existing input data, sending an METransformHaveOutput event for each output sample.
  2. After all of the output is generated, the MFT sends an METransformMarker event. This event must be sent after all of the METransformHaveOutput events.

The client is not required to send this message, and should send this message only to asynchronous MFTs. A synchronous MFT will not send an METransformMarker event in response to this message.

Implementation

Asynchronous MFTs must respond to this message as described. Synchronous MFTs should ignore this message.
