media type 用来描述媒体流格式。在 Media Foundation 中，medai type 用 IMFMediaType 表示。应用程序使用 media types 来辨别媒体文件或媒体流的格式。Media Foundation pipeline 中的各种对象也使用 media type 来协商他们将传递或接收的格式。
此文主要包含一下几部分

关于 Media Types
IMFMediaType 接口继承自 IMFAttributes 。media type 的详细信息就是一些 attributes。
要创建一个 media type 对象，调用 MFCreateMediaType 。此方法返回一个指向 IMFMediaType 接口的指针。media type 最开始没有 attributes。为了设置 media type 的细节，请设置相关的 attributes。
Major Types and Subtypes
任何媒体类型的两个重要信息就是 major type 和 subtype。
- major type 是定义媒体流大类型的 GUID。Major types 包括了视频和音频还有其他一些类型。要设置 major type，去设置MF_MT_MAJOR_TYPE attribute。IMFMediaType::GetMajorType 方法返回此 attribute 的值。
- subtype 指明了具体格式。例如 major type 为 video 时，subtype 可以是 RGB-24, RGB-32, YUY2 等等。对于音频，subtype 可以是 PCM audio, IEEE floating-point audio 或者其他。subtype 提供了比 major type 更详细的信息。但它并不一定提供了所有的信息。例如视频的 subtype 没有提供画面的分辨率以及帧率。要设置 subtype，去设置 MF_MT_SUBTYPE attribute。
所有的媒体类型都应该有一个 major type GUID 和 subtype GUID，要获取完整的GUID列表，参阅 Media Type GUIDs。
为什么用 Attributes?
与以前的技术（例如 DirectShow 和 Windows Media Format SDK ）使用的格式结构相比，attribute 有几个优点。
-
更容易表示“不知道”或“不关心”的值。例如，你正在写一个视频转换程序，你可能知道要支持的RGB格式和YUV格式，但你不会知道要转换的视频的分辨率，帧率等等信息，你可能不关心这些信息。对于一个表示视频格式的结构，每个成员变量都必须有一个值（设置好的或者默认值），使用 0 作为默认值是一种很常见的做法。如果对于另一个组件来说，0 是一个合法的值，则此时可能造成错误。对于 attribute 来说，无关的值只要省略即可。
-
需求会随着时间变化，通过在结构末尾添加更多数据来支持更多格式。例如将 WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE 扩展为 WAVEFORMATEX 。这种做法容易出错，因为组件必须强制转换指针类型。而 attribute 可以安全地扩展。
-
定义了相互不兼容的的格式结构。例如 DirectShow 定义了 VIDEOINFOHEADER 和 VIDEOINFOHEADER2。属性彼此独立设置，因此不会出现此问题。
Major Media Types
在 media type 中， major type 对数据类型进行了总体描述，例如这是一个视频或者音频。subtype 会进一步细化（如果存在 subtype）。例如，如果 major type 是视频，则 subtype 可能是 32 位 RGB 的视频。subtype 也可以表示编码格式，例如 H.264 视频。
Major type and subtype are identified by GUIDs and stored in the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| MF_MT_MAJOR_TYPE | Major type. |
| MF_MT_SUBTYPE | Subtype. |
The following major types are defined.
| Major Type | Description | Subtypes |
|---|---|---|
| MFMediaType_Audio | 音频。 | Audio Subtype GUIDs. |
| MFMediaType_Binary | 二进制流。 | None. |
| MFMediaType_FileTransfer | 包含数据文件的流。 | None. |
| MFMediaType_HTML | HTML 流。 | None. |
| MFMediaType_Image | 图片流。 | WIC GUIDs and CLSIDs. |
| MFMediaType_Protected | 受保护的媒体数据。 | The subtype specifies the content protection scheme. |
| MFMediaType_Perception | Streams from a camera sensor or processing unit that reasons and understands raw video data and provides understanding of the environment or humans in it. | None. |
| MFMediaType_SAMI | Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI) captions. | None. |
| MFMediaType_Script | Script stream. | None. |
| MFMediaType_Stream | 多路流或单路流。 | Stream Subtype GUIDs |
| MFMediaType_Video | 视频。 | Video Subtype GUIDs. |
第三方组件可以定义新的 majortype 和 subtype。

T此表第三列中的格式标记，是在 WAVEFORMATEX 结构中使用，并在头文件 mmreg.h 中定义。
给定一种格式，你可以用以下步骤创建一个 subtype GUID ：
- 从定义在 mfaph.i 中的 MFAudioFormat_Base 这个值开始。
- 使用格式标记（fourcc？）替换 GUID 中的第一个 DWORD。
你可以使用 DEFINE_MEDIATYPE_GUID 宏定义一个遵循此模式的新的 GUID 常量。
Uncompressed Audio Media Types
要创建一个完整的描述未压缩音频格式的 media type，要在 IMFMediaType 接口指针上设置 至少 以下 attribute。
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| MF_MT_MAJOR_TYPE | Major type. Set to MFMediaType_Audio. |
| MF_MT_SUBTYPE | Subtype. See Audio Subtype GUIDs. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_NUM_CHANNELS | Number of audio channels. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_SAMPLES_PER_SECOND | Number of audio samples per second. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_BLOCK_ALIGNMENT | Block alignment. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_AVG_BYTES_PER_SECOND | Average number of bytes per second. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_BITS_PER_SAMPLE | Number of bits per audio sample. |
| MF_MT_ALL_SAMPLES_INDEPENDENT | Specifies whether each audio sample is independent. Set to TRUE for MFAudioFormat_PCM and MFAudioFormat_Float formats. |
另外，某些格式还要求以下 attribute：
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| MF_MT_AUDIO_VALID_BITS_PER_SAMPLE | Number of valid bits of audio data in each audio sample. Set this attribute if the audio samples have padding—that is, if the number of valid bits in each audio sample is less than the sample size. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_CHANNEL_MASK | The assignment of audio channels to speaker positions. Set this attribute for multichannel audio streams, such as 5.1. This attribute is not required for mono or stereo audio. |
Example Code
以下代码展示了如何为未压缩的 PCM 格式音频创建一个 media type。
1 HRESULT CreatePCMAudioType( 2 UINT32 sampleRate, // Samples per second 3 UINT32 bitsPerSample, // Bits per sample 4 UINT32 cChannels, // Number of channels 5 IMFMediaType **ppType // Receives a pointer to the media type. 6 ) 7 { 8 HRESULT hr = S_OK; 9 10 IMFMediaType *pType = NULL; 11 12 // Calculate derived values. 13 UINT32 blockAlign = cChannels * (bitsPerSample / 8); 14 UINT32 bytesPerSecond = blockAlign * sampleRate; 15 16 // Create the empty media type. 17 hr = MFCreateMediaType(&pType); 18 if (FAILED(hr)) 19 { 20 goto done; 21 } 22 23 // Set attributes on the type. 24 hr = pType->SetGUID(MF_MT_MAJOR_TYPE, MFMediaType_Audio); 25 if (FAILED(hr)) 26 { 27 goto done; 28 } 29 30 hr = pType->SetGUID(MF_MT_SUBTYPE, MFAudioFormat_PCM); 31 if (FAILED(hr)) 32 { 33 goto done; 34 } 35 36 hr = pType->SetUINT32(MF_MT_AUDIO_NUM_CHANNELS, cChannels); 37 if (FAILED(hr)) 38 { 39 goto done; 40 } 41 42 hr = pType->SetUINT32(MF_MT_AUDIO_SAMPLES_PER_SECOND, sampleRate); 43 if (FAILED(hr)) 44 { 45 goto done; 46 } 47 48 hr = pType->SetUINT32(MF_MT_AUDIO_BLOCK_ALIGNMENT, blockAlign); 49 if (FAILED(hr)) 50 { 51 goto done; 52 } 53 54 hr = pType->SetUINT32(MF_MT_AUDIO_AVG_BYTES_PER_SECOND, bytesPerSecond); 55 if (FAILED(hr)) 56 { 57 goto done; 58 } 59 60 hr = pType->SetUINT32(MF_MT_AUDIO_BITS_PER_SAMPLE, bitsPerSample); 61 if (FAILED(hr)) 62 { 63 goto done; 64 } 65 66 hr = pType->SetUINT32(MF_MT_ALL_SAMPLES_INDEPENDENT, TRUE); 67 if (FAILED(hr)) 68 { 69 goto done; 70 } 71 72 // Return the type to the caller. 73 *ppType = pType; 74 (*ppType)->AddRef(); 75 76 done: 77 SafeRelease(&pType); 78 return hr; 79 }
下一个例子中输入一个音频编码格式，然后创建一个对应的 PCM 音频 type。这个 type 可以用来设置编码器或解码
1 //------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 // ConvertAudioTypeToPCM 3 // 4 // Given an audio media type (which might describe a compressed audio 5 // format), returns a media type that describes the equivalent 6 // uncompressed PCM format. 7 //------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 9 HRESULT ConvertAudioTypeToPCM( 10 IMFMediaType *pType, // Pointer to an encoded audio type. 11 IMFMediaType **ppType // Receives a matching PCM audio type. 12 ) 13 { 14 HRESULT hr = S_OK; 15 16 GUID majortype = { 0 }; 17 GUID subtype = { 0 }; 18 19 UINT32 cChannels = 0; 20 UINT32 samplesPerSec = 0; 21 UINT32 bitsPerSample = 0; 22 23 hr = pType->GetMajorType(&majortype); 24 if (FAILED(hr)) 25 { 26 return hr; 27 } 28 29 if (majortype != MFMediaType_Audio) 30 { 31 return MF_E_INVALIDMEDIATYPE; 32 } 33 34 // Get the audio subtype. 35 hr = pType->GetGUID(MF_MT_SUBTYPE, &subtype); 36 if (FAILED(hr)) 37 { 38 return hr; 39 } 40 41 if (subtype == MFAudioFormat_PCM) 42 { 43 // This is already a PCM audio type. Return the same pointer. 44 45 *ppType = pType; 46 (*ppType)->AddRef(); 47 48 return S_OK; 49 } 50 51 // Get the sample rate and other information from the audio format. 52 53 cChannels = MFGetAttributeUINT32(pType, MF_MT_AUDIO_NUM_CHANNELS, 0); 54 samplesPerSec = MFGetAttributeUINT32(pType, MF_MT_AUDIO_SAMPLES_PER_SECOND, 0); 55 bitsPerSample = MFGetAttributeUINT32(pType, MF_MT_AUDIO_BITS_PER_SAMPLE, 16); 56 57 // Note: Some encoded audio formats do not contain a value for bits/sample. 58 // In that case, use a default value of 16. Most codecs will accept this value. 59 60 if (cChannels == 0 || samplesPerSec == 0) 61 { 62 return MF_E_INVALIDTYPE; 63 } 64 65 // Create the corresponding PCM audio type. 66 hr = CreatePCMAudioType(samplesPerSec, bitsPerSample, cChannels, ppType); 67 68 return hr; 69 }
AAC Media Types
本文介绍了如何在 Media Foundation 中创建 Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) 流格式的 media type。
AAC 音频定义了两种 subtype：
| Subtype | Description | Header |
|---|---|---|
| MFAudioFormat_AAC | Raw AAC or ADTS AAC. | mfapi.h |
| MEDIASUBTYPE_RAW_AAC1 | Raw AAC. | wmcodecdsp.h |
1. MFAudioFormat_AAC
对于这种 subtype，media type 在应用 spectral band replication (SBR) 和 parametric stereo (PS) tools（如果存在） 之前给出了 sample rate 和声道数。SBR 工具的效果是使解码后的 sample rate 变为 core AAC-LC sample rate 的两倍。PS tool 的效果是从单声道 core AAC-LC 流解码立体声。
此 subtype 等同于定义在 wmcodecdsp.h 中的 MEDIASUBTYPE_MPEG_HEAAC。参阅 Audio Subtype GUIDs。
2. MEDIASUBTYPE_RAW_AAC1
此 subtype 用于 AVI 文件中包含的 AAC，等同于 WAVE_FORMAT_RAW_AAC1 (0x00FF)。
对于此种 subtype，media type 在应用 SBR 和 PS 工具（如果存在）之后给出采样率和声道数。
以下 media type attributes 适用于 AAC 音频。
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| MF_MT_MAJOR_TYPE | Major type。必须是 MFMediaType_Audio. |
| MF_MT_SUBTYPE | Audio subtype。参考上面的描述（两种其一） |
| MF_MT_AAC_AUDIO_PROFILE_LEVEL_INDICATION | Audio profile and level. The value of this attribute is the audioProfileLevelIndication field, as defined by ISO/IEC 14496-3. If unknown, set to zero or 0xFE ("no audio profile specified"). |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_AVG_BYTES_PER_SECOND | Bit rate of the encoded AAC stream, in bytes per second. |
| MF_MT_AAC_PAYLOAD_TYPE | Payload type. Applies only to MFAudioFormat_AAC. MF_MT_AAC_PAYLOAD_TYPE is optional. If this attribute is not specified, the default value 0 is used, which specifies the stream contains raw_data_block elements only. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_BITS_PER_SAMPLE | Bit depth of the decoded PCM audio. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_CHANNEL_MASK | Assignment of audio channels to speaker positions. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_NUM_CHANNELS | Number of channels, including the low frequency (LFE) channel, if present. The interpretation of this value depends on the media subtype, as described previously. |
| MF_MT_AUDIO_SAMPLES_PER_SECOND | Sample rate, in samples per second. The interpretation of this value depends on the media subtype, as described previously. |
| MF_MT_USER_DATA | The value of this attribute depends on the subtype:
|
