[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The GetDeinterlaceModeCaps method gets the capabilities of a deinterlacing mode supported by the graphics device driver.

Syntax

HRESULT GetDeinterlaceModeCaps(
  [in]  LPGUID              lpDeinterlaceMode,
  [in]  VMR9VideoDesc       *lpVideoDescription,
  [out] VMR9DeinterlaceCaps *lpDeinterlaceCaps
);

Parameters

Pointer to a GUID that identifies the deinterlacing mode. Call the IVMRDeinterlaceControl9::GetNumberOfDeinterlaceModes method to obtain a list of GUIDs supported by the driver.

[in] lpVideoDescription

Pointer to a VMR9VideoDesc structure describing the video to deinterlace. Set the dwSize member of the structure before calling the method.
