AVIFileInit function (vfw.h)

  • Article

The AVIFileInit function initializes the AVIFile library.

The AVIFile library maintains a count of the number of times it is initialized, but not the number of times it was released. Use the AVIFileExit function to release the AVIFile library and decrement the reference count. Call AVIFileInit before using any other AVIFile functions.

This function supersedes the obsolete AVIStreamInit function.

None
