destinationBufferMemoryPreference



Exactly where is the documentation for "destinationBufferMemoryPreference" in the "CodecDecompressParams" structure as listed in "ImageCodec.H"???

/* The following fields only exist for QuickTime 6.0 and greater */
Boolean bidirectionalPredictionMode;
UInt8 destinationBufferMemoryPreference; /* a codec's PreDecompress/Preflight call can set this to express a preference about what kind of memory its destination buffer should go into. no guarantees.*/
UInt8 codecBufferMemoryPreference; /* may indicate preferred kind of memory that NewImageGWorld/NewImageBufferMemory should create its buffer in, if applicable.*/
Boolean onlyUseCodecIfItIsInUserPreferredCodecList; /* set to prevent this codec from being used unless it is in the userPreferredCodec list*/

QTMediaContextID mediaContextID;

/* The following fields only exist for QuickTime 6.5 and greater */
UInt8 deinterlaceRequest; /* set by the ICM before PreDecompress/Preflight */
UInt8 deinterlaceAnswer; /* codec should set this in PreDecompress/Preflight if it will satisfy the deinterlaceRequest */

You can search Google or the new "Reference Library" or the "ADC Advanced Search" site until your fingers bleed and not find one bloody thing.

This was introduced in QuickTime 6.0 - several years ago - and frankly the complete lack of support for developers with even the vaguest hints of how technology is supposed to be used is becoming unbearable not alone being embarrassing for Apple as a "Technology Leader" or is that just an "oxymoron"?

Maybe Steve J. could spring a few bucks on getting this stuff documented rather than tooling around in his "free jet".

PO'd...
