Syntax
HRESULT SetTimeFormat(
const GUID *pFormat
);
Parameters
pFormat
[in] Pointer to a GUID that specifies the time format. See Time Format GUIDs.
Return Value

| Value | Description |
| S_OK | Success. |

Remarks
This method specifies the time units used by other IMediaSeeking methods, such as IMediaSeeking::GetPositions and IMediaSeeking::SetPositions. Whenever you call one of these other methods, any parameters that express time values are given in units of the current time format.
The default time format is REFERENCE_TIME units (100 nanoseconds). Other time formats include frames, samples, and bytes. To determine if a given format is supported, call the IMediaSeeking::IsFormatSupported method. If a format is supported, you can switch to that format by calling SetTimeFormat. Only one time format is active at any one time.
