IMemAllocator::ReleaseBuffer

The ReleaseBuffer method releases a media sample.

Syntax

HRESULT ReleaseBuffer(
  IMediaSample *pBuffer
);

Parameters

pBuffer

[in] Pointer to the media sample's IMediaSample interface.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an HRESULT value indicating the cause of the error.

Remarks

When a media sample's reference count reaches zero, it calls this method with itself as the pBuffer parameter. This method releases the sample back to the allocator's list of available samples.
