VideoPortReleaseBuffer function (video.h)
The VideoPortReleaseBuffer function is obsolete in Windows 2000 and later. In its place, video miniport drivers should instead use VideoPortFreePool.
VideoPortReleaseBuffer deallocates a block of paged pool memory.
Syntax
VIDEOPORT_DEPRECATED VIDEOPORT_API VOID VideoPortReleaseBuffer(

);
Parameters
[in] HwDeviceExtension
Pointer to the miniport driver's device extension.

This function releases memory allocated by VideoPortAllocateBuffer. A miniport driver must not access the memory block to which Buffer points after it has been freed.
