COARefTime class
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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 COARefTime class converts reference times between seconds and 100-nanosecond units.
This class converts between reference times that are compatible with Automation and reference times that are compatible with C/C++. Automation-compatible interfaces use double values to represent time in seconds. Other interfaces use 64-bit LONGLONG values to represent time in 100-nanosecond units. The following types are defined for these values:
typedef LONGLONG REFERENCE_TIME;
typedef double REFTIME;
Filters can use the COARefTime class to convert between the two formats. This class is derived from the CRefTime class.

| operator = | Assigns a new reference time. |
| operator == | Tests for equality between two reference times. |
| operator != | Tests for inequality between two reference times. |
| operator < | Tests if one reference time is less than another. |
