capFileAlloc macro

-description

The capFileAlloc macro creates (preallocates) a capture file of a specified size. You can use this macro or explicitly send the WM_CAP_FILE_ALLOCATE message.

-parameters

-param hwnd

Handle to a capture window.

-param dwSize

Size, in bytes, to create the capture file.

-remarks

You can improve streaming capture performance significantly by preallocating a capture file large enough to store an entire video clip and by defragmenting the capture file before capturing the clip.
