Problem with compression of a DirectShow video filter

[soepi229]

Hi all, I'm having problems in setting compression parameters for a directshow video filter for a video and audio grabbed from a usb webcam.

The code I am using (adapted from various websites on the internet) is the following (removed error checking to improve readability):

	//... various code before
	hr=m_pGraph->AddFilter(m_pVidDeviceFilter,L"Vid Capture Filter");
	hr=m_pGraph->AddFilter(m_pAudDeviceFilter,L"Aud Capture Filter");
	
	hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WMAsfWriter,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, 
                      IID_IBaseFilter, (void **) &m_pWMASFWritter); 

	

	//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	// !!! Try to add compression from now on !!!!

	DWORD dwBitRate = 2670000; // I tried almost everything here
	DWORD dwQuality = 50; // in range[0-100]
	DWORD dwSecPerKey = 5000;

	// Initialize a new Profile Manager
	IWMProfileManager* pIPM = 0;
	WMCreateProfileManager(&pIPM);

	// Create a new empty profile
	IWMProfile* pIProf = 0;
	pIPM->CreateEmptyProfile(WMT_VER_9_0,&pIProf);
	pIProf->SetName(L"Window Media Video 9 Profile");
	pIProf->SetDescription (L"Window Media Video 9 Custom Encoding");

	// Create a new video stream
	IWMStreamConfig* pVideoStream = 0;
	pIProf->CreateNewStream(WMMEDIATYPE_Video,&pVideoStream);

	pVideoStream->SetStreamName(L"videostream");;
	pVideoStream->SetConnectionName(L"video");
	pVideoStream->SetBitrate(662144); // This causes problems
	pVideoStream->SetBufferWindow(3000);
	pVideoStream->SetStreamNumber(1);

	IWMVideoMediaProps* pVideoMediaProps = 0;

	// Get this Interface from pVideoStream...
	hr = pVideoStream->QueryInterface(IID_IWMMediaProps, (void**)&pVideoMediaProps);

	WM_MEDIA_TYPE sMediaType;
	WMVIDEOINFOHEADER sVideoInfoHeader;
	memset(&sMediaType, 0, sizeof(sMediaType));
	sMediaType.majortype = WMMEDIATYPE_Video;
	sMediaType.subtype = WMMEDIASUBTYPE_MPEG2_VIDEO;
	sMediaType.bFixedSizeSamples = FALSE;
	sMediaType.bTemporalCompression = TRUE;
	sMediaType.formattype = WMFORMAT_VideoInfo;
	sMediaType.cbFormat = sizeof(WMVIDEOINFOHEADER);
	sMediaType.pbFormat = (BYTE *)&sVideoInfoHeader;

	// Setup the Video Info Header
	memset(&sVideoInfoHeader, 0, sizeof(sVideoInfoHeader));
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcSource.left = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcSource.top = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcSource.right = 352;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcSource.bottom = 240;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcTarget.left = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcTarget.top = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcTarget.right = 352;
	sVideoInfoHeader.rcTarget.bottom = 240;
	sVideoInfoHeader.dwBitRate = 262144;
	sVideoInfoHeader.AvgTimePerFrame = 333667; // (1/29.97) in 100-ns units

	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biSize = sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biWidth = 352;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biHeight = 240;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biPlanes = 1;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biBitCount = 24;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biCompression = MAKEFOURCC(0xe4,0x36,0xeb,0x83);
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biSizeImage = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biXPelsPerMeter = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biYPelsPerMeter = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biClrUsed = 0;
	sVideoInfoHeader.bmiHeader.biClrImportant = 0;

	// Set the VideoMediaProps for this Stream
	pVideoMediaProps->SetMediaType(&sMediaType);
	// pVideoMediaProps->SetMaxKeyFrameSpacing(1000000);
	// pVideoMediaProps->SetQuality(100);
	pVideoMediaProps->Release();


	hr = pIProf->AddStream(pVideoStream); ////// hr IS ALWAYS NS_E_INVALID_STREAM HERE!! PROBLEM!

	if (hr == NS_E_INVALID_STREAM)
	{

		// Here the problem!
		

	}

	// Set the profile for the writer
	CComQIPtr<IConfigAsfWriter2> pConfigWriter;
	pConfigWriter = m_pWMASFWritter;

	hr = pConfigWriter->SetParam(AM_CONFIGASFWRITER_PARAM_DONTCOMPRESS, FALSE, 0);
	hr = pConfigWriter->ConfigureFilterUsingProfile(pIProf);



	//!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	// !!! End of compression code... continue with streaming/networking code.. !!!
	
	hr=m_pGraph->AddFilter(m_pWMASFWritter,L"ASF Writter");
	
	hr = m_pWMASFWritter->QueryInterface( IID_IFileSinkFilter, (void**)&m_pFileSinkFilter );

	hr = m_pFileSinkFilter->SetFileName(L"C:\\test.wmv", NULL);
	
	//.... etc....

Can someone point me in the right direction please?
