Remarks

The size of a DIB is calculated as stride * height, where stride is width * bits per pixel/8, rounded up to the nearest DWORD alignment; and height is the absolute value of biHeight.

Requirements

**  Header:** Declared in Amvideo.h; include Streams.h.

**  Library:** Use Strmbase.lib (retail builds) or Strmbasd.lib (debug builds).
