IMFSample::GetBufferByIndex method (mfobjects.h)
Gets a buffer from the sample, by index.
Note In most cases, it is safer to use the IMFSample::ConvertToContiguousBuffer method. If the sample contains more than one buffer, the ConvertToContiguousBuffer method replaces them with a single buffer, copies the original data into that buffer, and returns the new buffer to the caller. The copy operation occurs at most once. On subsequent calls, no data is copied.
Syntax
HRESULT GetBufferByIndex(
[in] DWORD dwIndex,
[out] IMFMediaBuffer **ppBuffer
);
Parameters
[in] dwIndex
Index of the buffer. To find the number of buffers in the sample, call IMFSample::GetBufferCount. Buffers are indexed from zero.
[out] ppBuffer
Receives a pointer to the IMFMediaBuffer interface. The caller must release the interface.
Return value
The method returns an HRESULT. Possible values include, but are not limited to, those in the following table.
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
The method succeeded. |
|
NULL pointer argument, or the index is out of range. |
Remarks
A sample might contain more than one buffer. Use the GetBufferByIndex method to enumerate the individual buffers.
