The capFileAlloc macro creates (preallocates) a capture file of a specified size. You can use this macro or explicitly send the WM_CAP_FILE_ALLOCATE message.
Syntax
void capFileAlloc(
hwnd,
dwSize
);
Parameters
hwnd
Handle to a capture window.
dwSize
Size, in bytes, to create the capture file.

Remarks
You can improve streaming capture performance significantly by preallocating a capture file large enough to store an entire video clip and by defragmenting the capture file before capturing the clip.
