ISampleGrabber::GetCurrentBuffer() returns E_OUTOFMEMORY - c++

Question

I am new to directshow and using DirectShow Sample "FrameGrabberDemo" and facing issue in getting the image. I tried with .avi and .mpg, both are giving same issue.
First issue might be the S_FALSE return value from IMediaControl::Run(). However, it is not an error and states that:
The graph is preparing to run, but some filters have not completed the
transition to a running state.
Second observation is ISampleGrabber::GetCurrentBuffer() returns E_OUTOFMEMORY code, which states that "The specified buffer is not large enough." However, the BitmapInfo has biImageSize = 1244160 and also MediaType has ISampleSize = 1244160.

}
The ::CreateDIBSection is also not returning NULL and buffer also got initialized.
How can this be resolved?

Answer 1

You are requesting data into zero-length buffer:
long size = 0;
hr = pSampleGrabber->GetCurrentBuffer(&size, (long *)buffer);
The error code looks relevant:
If pBuffer is not NULL, set this parameter equal to the size of the buffer, in bytes.
E_OUTOFMEMORY The specified buffer is not large enough.
You simple need proper arguments in the call in question (proper buffer length).
