IAMVideoAccelerator::Execute method (videoacc.h)
[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The Execute method performs a DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) decoding operation.
Syntax
HRESULT Execute(
[in] DWORD dwFunction,
[in] LPVOID lpPrivateInputData,
[in] DWORD cbPrivateInputData,
[in] LPVOID lpPrivateOutputDat,
[in] DWORD cbPrivateOutputData,
[in] DWORD dwNumBuffers,
[in] const AMVABUFFERINFO *pamvaBufferInfo
);
Parameters
[in] dwFunction
Contains one or more DXVA function numbers.
[in] lpPrivateInputData
Pointer to input data for the decoding operation. The meaning of this data depends on the surface type and function number. For details, refer to the DXVA 1.0 specification.
[in] cbPrivateInputData
Size of the input data, in bytes.
[in] lpPrivateOutputDat
Pointer to a buffer where the video accelerator will write output data.
[in] cbPrivateOutputData
Size of the lpPrivateOutputData buffer, in bytes.
[in] dwNumBuffers
Number of elements in the pamvaBufferInfo array.
[in] pamvaBufferInfo
Pointer to an array of AMVABUFFERINFO structures.
Return value
Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface. HRESULT can include one of the following standard constants, or other values not listed.
Return code | Description |
---|---|
|
Failure. |
|
Argument is invalid. |
|
Method is not supported. |
|
NULL pointer argument. |
|
Success. |
|
The decoder did not use a DXVA decoding type when it connected to the video renderer. |
|
The pins on the decoder and video renderer filters are not connected. |
Remarks
If the filter's pins are not connected, the method returns VFW_E_NOT_CONNECTED.
The associated buffer list is passed along with a function number (defaulting to zero) and any necessary private data describing the decompression operation. For example, decompressed reference frame information is passed in the buffer list. The buffer list order is important and is defined by the particular decompression operation being performed.
Private data can be passed to and from a driver.
