[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]

Note This interface is deprecated. New applications should not use it.

The CreateSample method creates a stream sample and optionally specifies the sample buffer.

Syntax

HRESULT CreateSample(
  [in] long               lSampleSize,
  [in] BYTE               *pbBuffer,
  [in] DWORD              dwFlags,
  [in] IUnknown           *pUnkOuter,
  [in] IAMMediaTypeSample **ppAMMediaTypeSample
);

Parameters

[in] lSampleSize

Size of the sample.

[in] pbBuffer

[optional] Pointer to an array of bytes that contains the sample data, or NULL.

[in] dwFlags

Reserved.

[in] pUnkOuter

[optional] Pointer to the interface of an object that aggregates the stream sample.

[in] ppAMMediaTypeSample

Address of an IAMMediaTypeSample interface pointer that receives a pointer to the created sample.

Return value

Returns one of the following values.

Return code	Description
E_OUTOFMEMORY	Insufficient memory.
E_POINTER	NULL pointer argument.
S_OK	Success.

Remarks

If pUnkOuter is non-NULL, the new stream sample is aggregated into the specified object. Filters that receive the sample can then query it for interfaces supported by the aggregating object.
