Re: Get Information from an avi file

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

From: "ONeill"

Does the graph automaticly save the creation date into
the container? If so, how can get this information
afterwards?

Thay depends on whether the AVI writer adds a 'INFO'/'ISMP'
and/or 'INFO'/'IDIT' or and/or a custom chunk with that
info. The stock AVIMux in DirectShow does not unless
instructed to do so before streaming starts (see
IPersistMediaPropertyBag::Load() and RIFFNEW.* in the MDRK
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=120253>).
