IltmmConvert::EstimateOutputBitRate

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax

HRESULT IltmmConvert_EstimateOutputBitRate(pConvert, pBitRate)

C++ Syntax

HRESULT EstimateOutputBitRate(pBitRate)

 

IltmmConvert *pConvert;

/* pointer to an interface */

long *pBitRate;

/* pointer to a variable */

Retrieves the estimated conversion output bit rate, in bits per second.

Parameter

Description

pConvert

Pointer to an IltmmConvert interface.

pBitRate

Pointer to a variable to be updated with the estimated output bit rate.

Returns

S_OK

The function was successful.

<> S_OK

An error occurred. Refer to the Error Codes or the HRESULT error codes in the DirectShow documentation.

Comments

The returned bit rate depends on the state of the convert object.

If the object is in the running state, the returned bit rate is related to the actual number of bytes that have been written.

While if the object is not running, the returned bit rate is a theoretical value dependent on the conversion settings and the chosen encoding settings.
