IAMFilterData interface
[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 It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation.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.]
Note
This interface has been deprecated. New applications should use the IFilterMapper2 interface instead.
The IAMFilterData interface converts filter information to packed binary data, which can be stored in the registry. The Filter Mapper object exposes this interface.
