[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
You must use an interface identifier (IID) when making calls to the QueryInterface method. An IID is a globally unique identifier (GUID) value. In the Windows Media Format SDK, the constant assigned to the IID for a given interface is the interface name preceded by 'IID_'.
The following table lists the interface identifiers and associated constants for the interfaces in this SDK.
| Interface | IID constant | GUID |
