This section describes how to return capture and compression formats by using the IAMStreamConfig::GetStreamCapsmethod. This method can get more information about accepted media types than the traditional way of enumerating a pin's media types, so you should typically use it instead. IAMStreamConfig::GetStreamCapscan return information about the kinds of formats allowed for audio or video.

The IAMStreamConfig::GetStreamCapsmethod returns an array of pairs of media type and capabilities structures. The media type is an AM_MEDIA_TYPEstructure and the capabilities are represented either by an AUDIO_STREAM_CONFIG_CAPSstructure or a VIDEO_STREAM_CONFIG_CAPSstructure.

The following topics provide additional information.
