This section contains reference entries for all the multimedia streaming interfaces and their methods, including those that Microsoft DirectShow supports. For convenience, this section also includes documentation on the IDirectDraw and IDirectDrawSurface interfaces that are exposed through other multimedia streaming interfaces.
| Interface |
Description |
| IAMMediaStream |
Handles the internal connections between DirectShow filters and filter graphs in applications that use multimedia streaming. |
| IAMMediaTypeSample |
Contains methods for manipulating stream samples with arbitrary media types. |
| IAMMediaTypeStream |
Contains methods for creating multimedia streams with arbitrary media types. |
| IAMMultiMediaStream |
Exposes DirectShow functionality to multimedia stream developers. |
| IAudioData |
Provides methods that enable applications to set and get the underlying audio data that audio streams will reference. |
| IAudioMediaStream |
Controls audio media streams by providing methods that set and get the stream's format. |
| IAudioStreamSample |
Retrieves information from the underlying IAudioData data objects. |
| IDirectDraw |
Controls DirectDraw objects. |
| IDirectDrawClipper |
Provides methods to control a DirectDrawClipper object. |
| IDirectDrawMediaStream |
Controls media streams that appear on Microsoft® DirectDraw® surfaces. |
| IDirectDrawPalette |
Provides methods to control a DirectDrawPalette object. |
| IDirectDrawStreamSample |
Provides methods that set and retrieve pointers to the DirectDraw surface associated with the current stream sample. |
| IDirectDrawSurface |
Controls DirectDrawSurface objects. |
| IMediaStream |
Provides access to the characteristics of a media stream, such as the stream's media type and purpose ID. It also has methods that create data samples. |
| IMediaStreamFilter |
Supported by the Media Stream filter, which is used internally by the multimedia stream object. . |
| IMemoryData |
Contains methods that set and retrieve memory data on audio data objects. |
| IMultiMediaStream |
Provides methods that control a multimedia stream and provide access to its underlying media streams. |
| IStreamSample |
Provides control over the behavior of stream samples. |
