Determines if the filter should start, continue, or stop skipping frames.

BOOL ShouldSkipFrame(
IMediaSample *
pIn
);

Parameters

pIn
Received sample to be transformed or skipped.

Return Values

Returns TRUE if the filter should skip this sample; otherwise, returns FALSE.

Remarks

This member function sets the m_bSkippingmember variable to FALSE if the sample is a key frame (sync point) and returns FALSE. This stops any skipping that has started. This member function starts skipping samples (sets m_bSkippingto TRUE and returns TRUE) only if all of the following conditions are true.

  • The average time to decode is more than one-fourth of the frame time.
  • The filter is running at least one frame late.
  • The next anticipated key frame is estimated to be no more than one frame early.
  • The occurrence of key frames is sufficiently frequent.

    This member function sends an EC_QUALITY_CHANGEnotification when sample skipping starts. Once skipping starts, all samples are skipped until the next key frame arrives.
