AVIMakeFileFromStreams function (vfw.h)

The AVIMakeFileFromStreams function constructs an AVIFile interface pointer from separate streams.

Syntax

HRESULT AVIMakeFileFromStreams(
  PAVIFILE   *ppfile,
  int        nStreams,
  PAVISTREAM *papStreams
);

Parameters

ppfile

Pointer to a buffer that receives the new file interface pointer.
