Hi,

I am trying to build an avi-file from scratch.
The Information on www.shrinkwrapvb.com/avihelp/avihlp_1.htm seems very
usefull but is addressed to visual-basic-users.

I transferred the code to c++-builder, but there is a problem, which
drives me mad:

When I call

res=AVIStreamSetFormat(pcCompressed,0,&BitmapHeader->bmiHeader,BitmapHea
der->bmiHeader.biSize+BitmapHeader->bmiHeader.biClrUsed *
sizeof(RGBQUAD));


// pcCompressed is a valid compressed-stream-pointer
// BitmapHeader is a Pointer to a valid bitmap

this returns -2147205019 instead of zero. But I don't have a clue, what
this return-value might tell me.
The most riddiculous: It works _sometimes_, maybe 3 times out of 30
tries...

When I don't use pcCompressed, but instead the address of the
uncompressed stream, the function returns 0, but of course, I can't save
my my pictures then.

Does anybody have a clue, what the return-value means? Or any idea, what
might be wrong with the compressed stream or anything else?

Thanks in advance
Michael Kutscher
