| Microsoft DirectX 8.1 (C++) |
This interface contains methods for creating multimedia streams with arbitrary media types. Use this interface if you need to create a multimedia stream with a format that is not supported by the other Microsoft DirectShow multimedia streaming interfaces.
This interface inherits from the IMediaStream interface.
Note For video streams, use the IDirectDrawMediaStream interface instead of this interface. For audio streams, use the IAudioMediaStream interface.
In addition to the methods inherited from IUnknown and IMediaStream, the IAMMediaTypeStream interface exposes the following methods.
| Method | Description |
| CreateSample | Creates a stream sample and optionally specifies the sample buffer. |
| GetFormat | Retrieves the format of the stream. |
| GetStreamAllocatorRequirements | Retrieves the allocator requirements for the stream. This method is not currently implemented. |
| SetFormat | Sets the format of the stream. |
| SetStreamAllocatorRequirements | Sets the allocator requirements for the stream. This method is not currently implemented. |
