Before you can set the frame rate for capturing video you must first determine the frame rates that a capture device supports. You can do this by first calling IAMStreamConfig::GetNumberOfCapabilitiesand then making successive calls to IAMStreamConfig::GetStreamCapsto enumerate the capabilities for a particular media type. Each set of capabilities is described in an AM_MEDIA_TYPEstructure. For video data, the media format is FORMAT_VideoInfo2 so the AM_MEDIA_TYPE.pbFormatmember points to a VIDEOINFOHEADER2structure. The supported frame rate for the media type is contained in VIDEOINFOHEADER2.AvgTimePerFrame.
You can set one of the supported frame rates by preparing an AM_MEDIA_TYPEstructure and then calling IAMStreamConfig::SetFormat.
