ISampleGrabber :: GetCurrentBuffer（）返回E_OUTOFMEMORY

Question

I am new to directshow and using DirectShow Sample "FrameGrabberDemo" and facing issue in getting the image. I tried with .avi and .mpg, both are giving same issue.

First issue might be the S_FALSE return value from IMediaControl::Run(). However, it is not an error and states that:

The graph is preparing to run, but some filters have not completed the transition to a running state.

Second observation is ISampleGrabber::GetCurrentBuffer() returns E_OUTOFMEMORY code, which states that "The specified buffer is not large enough." However, the BitmapInfo has biImageSize = 1244160 and also MediaType has ISampleSize = 1244160.

// Create a DIB from the bitmap header, and get a pointer to the buffer.

HBITMAP hOldBitmap = m_Image.SetBitmap(hBitmap);
if (hOldBitmap != NULL)
    ::DeleteObject(hOldBitmap);

return S_OK;
}

The ::CreateDIBSection is also not returning NULL and buffer also got initialized.

How can this be resolved?

Answer 1

You are requesting data into zero-length buffer:

long size = 0;
hr = pSampleGrabber->GetCurrentBuffer(&size, (long *)buffer);

The error code looks relevant:

If pBuffer is not NULL, set this parameter equal to the size of the buffer, in bytes.

E_OUTOFMEMORY The specified buffer is not large enough.

You simple need proper arguments in the call in question (proper buffer length).
