When "getting" a BSTR property, the memory containing the string is allocated with SysAllocString. When this string is no longer needed, free this memory by calling SysFreeString if you are working in an environment such as C or C++ that does not automatically delete the memory. VB automatically deletes the memory, so VB programmers do not need to free the memory themselves.

The portion of the file holding the video data. The video data might be compressed to save disk space. The data has to be decompressed using a video decompressor before you can play (see) it.

Also known as a decoder, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data.

HRESULT ResetToDefaults()

Parameters

None.

Description

Reset the text overly option values to the default values.

HRESULT LoadAttributes()

Parameters

None.

Description

Loads transform settings from the registry. The Media Foundation transforms import the settings from the registry only at creation time. This method will force the transform to re-load its settings from the registry. If the transform has no settings to load from the registry, E_NOTIMPL is returned.

Return

S_OK if successful, S_FALSE otherwis.

HRESULT SaveAttributes()
