I'm trying to create avi from bitmap files
I'm not able to create compressed stream
I'm using 64 bit os
I tried both debug and release option's with win32 and x64

Program is compiling successfully but getting run time error...

What I have tried:

HRESULT	CAviFile::AppendFrameFirstTime(int nWidth, int nHeight, LPVOID pBits,int nBitsPerPixel)
{
	int	nMaxWidth=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN),nMaxHeight=GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN);

	BITMAPINFO	bmpInfo;

	m_hAviDC=CreateCompatibleDC(NULL);
	if(m_hAviDC==NULL)	
	{
		MessageBox(NULL,"Unable to Create Compatible DC","Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR);
		goto TerminateInitBits;
	}

	ZeroMemory(&bmpInfo,sizeof(BITMAPINFO));
	bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biPlanes=1;
	bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth=nWidth;
	bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight=nHeight;
	bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biCompression=BI_RGB;

	bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biSizeImage=bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth*bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight*bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biBitCount/8;
	
	if(bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight>nMaxHeight)	nMaxHeight=bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biHeight;
	if(bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth>nMaxWidth)	nMaxWidth=bmpInfo.bmiHeader.biWidth;

	m_hHeap=HeapCreate(HEAP_NO_SERIALIZE,nMaxWidth*nMaxHeight*4,0);
	if(m_hHeap==NULL)
	{

		goto TerminateInitBits;
	}

	if(m_lpBits==NULL)	
	{	
		//MessageBox(NULL,"Unable to Allocate Memory","Error",MB_OK);

	{

Solution 1

You did not tell us what kind of runtime error occurs.

A possible source of the error might be that that your calculation of the BITMAPINFOHEADER[^] biSizeImage member is wrong. See "Calculating Surface Stride" at the above link.

No sir, I found why AVIMakeCompressedStream() is failed

At this statement
m_AviStreamInfo.fccHandler=VIDEOCODEC;

if I keep videocodec like this
#define VIDEOCODEC 0

then it is working fine but size of avi file is too large

and if I keep videocodec like this then it is failed
#define VIDEOCODEC mmioFOURCC('M','P','G','4')

Due to the lack of information I could only guess and answered pointing to an existing error. Even if that was not the actual source of failure, it might become effective later when other errors has been fixed.

I suggest to add the new information to your question using the green "Improve question" link. You should also add the error code returned by AVIMakeCompressedStream().

How can I use one of them to reduce size of avi file

#define VIDEOCODEC mmioFOURCC('M','P','G','4')
#define VIDEOCODEC mmioFOURCC('X','V','I','D')
#define VIDEOCODEC mmioFOURCC('D','I','V','X')

I checked using windows media player
in Help >About Windows Media Player > Technical Support Information

those codec are already present their

but still AVIMakeCompressedStream() is failing if I use one of them

Please help!
