Saving AVI files in C++ after creating

Question

I'm using Wischik's example code for creating AVI files, however after I run the code and it exits successfully no AVI file is created. I looked through the code and cannot find where it writes/saves/creates an AVI file on your computer. Does anyone know where the code saves AVI file or if it doesn't, a way to make it save the AVI file created to your computer? Thanks

You should find test.avi in the project directory. Since you know it's name, you could also use Windows explorer to search for it.

To examine further, (assuming you are using VC++), goto Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Directories, and Show Directories for Include files. That will tell you where the headers are.

Alternatively, set a break point at the line where AVIFileOpen is called, and follow the execution path to see what it does.
