INSSBuffer::GetBufferAndLength method (wmsbuffer.h)
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
The GetBufferAndLength method retrieves the location and size of the used portion of the buffer controlled by the buffer object. Buffers are used to store samples. When reading ASF files, you can use the location and length to copy a sample from a buffer delivered by the reader or synchronous reader.
