00018 * \par
00019 * Advanced Systems Format (ASF) \n
00020 * Windows Copyright Microsoft Corporation.
00021 * \par
00022 * Access to the WMV format uses Windows Media SDK. Available in Windows Only. \n
00023 * You must link the application with "im_wmv.lib"
00024 * and you must call the function \ref imFormatRegisterWMV once
00025 * to register the format into the IM core library. \n
00026 * Depends also on the WMF SDK (wmvcore.lib).
00027 * When using the "im_wmv.dll" this extra library is not necessary.
00028 * \par
00029 * The application users should have the WMV codec 9 installed:
00030 * http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx
00031 * \par
00032 * You must agree with the WMF SDK EULA to use the SDK. \n

00056 Can have more than one image.
00057 Can have an alpha channel (only for RGB) ?
00058 Internally the components are always packed.
00059 Lines arranged from top down to bottom or bottom up to top.
00060 Handle() returns IWMSyncReader* when reading, IWMWriter* when writing.
00061
00062 Attributes:
00063 FPS IM_FLOAT (1) (should set when writing, default 15)
00064 WMFQuality IM_INT (1) [0-100, default 50] (write only)
00065 MaxKeyFrameTime IM_INT (1) (write only) [maximum key frame interval in miliseconds, default 5 seconds]
00066 DataRate IM_INT (1) (write only) [kilobits/second, default 2400]
00067 VBR IM_INT (1) [0, 1] (write only) [0 - Constant Bit Rate (default), 1 - Variable Bit Rate (Quality-Based)]
00068 (and several others from the file-level attributes) For ex:
00069 Title, Author, Copyright, Description (string)
00070 Duration IM_INT [100-nanosecond units]
00071 Seekable, HasAudio, HasVideo, Is_Protected, Is_Trusted, IsVBR IM_INT (1) [0, 1]
00072 NumberOfFrames IM_INT (1)
00073
00074 Comments:
00075 IMPORTANT - The "image_count" and the "FPS" attribute may not be available from the file,
00076 we try to estimate from the duration and from the average time between frames, or using the default value.
00077 We do not handle DRM protected files (Digital Rights Management).
00078 Reads only the first video stream. Other streams are ignored.
00079 All the images have the same size, you must call imFileReadImageInfo/imFileWriteImageInfo
00080 at least once.
00081 For optimal random reading, the file should be indexed previously.
00082 If not indexed by frame, random positioning may not be precise.
00083 Sequencial reading will always be precise.
00084 When writing we use a custom profile and time indexing only.
00085 We do not support multipass encoding.
00086 Since the driver uses COM, CoInitialize(NULL) and CoUninitialize() are called every Open/Close.
