IltmmCapture::EstimateOutputSize

#include "ltmm.h"

C Syntax	HRESULT IltmmCapture_EstimateOutputSize(pCapture, Duration, pSize)
C++ Syntax	HRESULT EstimateOutputSize(Duration, pSize)

Retrieves the estimated capturing output size, in bytes, for the specified duration.

Parameter	Description
pCapture	Pointer to an IltmmCapture interface.
Duration	Value the represents the duration in seconds for which to retrieve the estimated output size.
pSize	Pointer to a variable to be updated with the estimated output size for the duration.

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 estimated output size is calculated using the following equation:

Size = (Bitrate * Duration) / 8.

The returned size depends on the state of the capture object.

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

While if the object is not running, the returned size is a theoretical value dependent on the capturing settings and the chosen encoding settings.
