The BeginFrame method begins frame processing.
Syntax
HRESULT BeginFrame(
const AMVABeginFrameInfo *pamvaBeginFrameInfo
);
Parameters
pamvaBeginFrameInfo
[in] Pointer to an AMVABeginFrameInfo structure containing the information needed to begin processing the frame.
Return Values
Returns an HRESULT value that depends on the implementation of the interface. HRESULT can include one of the following standard constants, or other values not listed.
| Return code | Description |
| E_FAIL | Failure. |
| E_INVALIDARG | Argument is invalid. |
| E_NOTIMPL | Method is not supported. |
| E_POINTER | Null pointer argument. |
| S_OK | Success. |
Remarks
This method can only be called after the pins are connected.
The AMVABeginFrameInfo structure contains an index to the destination buffer. Valid index values are from zero to dwActualUncompSurfacesAllocated–1), obtained by calling IAMVideoAcceleratorNotify::SetUncompSurfacesInfo.
The decoder should not make any assumption about the initial contents of the frame, as the frame memory used might not be the same as the memory last used with this frame index.
A call to this method might block operation processing if no non-busy frame buffer is available.
