ICDecompressGetFormat 5KC2ZV

The ICDecompressGetFormat macro requests the output format of the decompressed data from a video decompression driver. You can use this macro or explicitly call the ICM_DECOMPRESS_GET_FORMAT_LAFBU message.

DWORD ICDecompressGetFormat(

hic,
lpbiInput,
lpbiOutput
);

hic

Handle of a decompressor.

lpbiInput

Address of a BITMAPINFO.2PXNH structure containing the input format.

lpbiOutput

Address of a BITMAPINFO structure to contain the output format. You can specify zero to request only the size of the output format, as in the ICDecompressGetFormatSize5KXW0K macro.

Return Values

If lpbiOutput is zero, returns the size of the structure.

If lpbiOutput is nonzero, returns ICERR_OK if successful or an error otherwise.

Remarks

If lpbiOutput is nonzero, the driver should fill the BITMAPINFO structure with the default output format corresponding to the input format specified for lpbiInput. If the compressor can produce several formats, the default format should be the one that preserves the greatest amount of information.
