Can't open output file

[mgarrettcallcopy_com]

Hello. I downloaded the 30 day evaluation to see if IPP might be a possible solution for my companies needs. I was using libavcodec but for silverlight we have to encode in h.264 so the mp4 video encoder I wrote no longer is valid, and compiling ffmpeg/libavcodec with h.264 encoding capabilities would make it GPL, which I can't do. Thus I turned my attention here.

Anyways, to get to my problem I stepped through the example code and tried to extract the basics to get a more simple program (I know I will always be encoding in h.264). When I get to the point of opening an output file though fails. Here is the small test project:

#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include
#include


using namespace UMC;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
Ipp64f FrameRate = 30;
Ipp32s numThreads = 1;
Ipp32s BitRate = 5000000;

BaseCodec *pCodec;
VideoEncoderParams *pEncoderParams;

IppStatus status = ippStaticInit();

Ipp32s mWidth= 640;
Ipp32s mHeight = 480;
if (status < ippStsNoErr)
{
printf("Error: Can't initialize ipp libs!");
return 5;
}

const IppLibraryVersion *libver = ippGetLibVersion();


pEncoderParams = new VideoEncoderParams;
pEncoderParams->info.clip_info.width = mWidth;
pEncoderParams->info.clip_info.height = mHeight;
pEncoderParams->info.framerate = FrameRate;
pEncoderParams->info.bitrate = BitRate;
pEncoderParams->numThreads = numThreads;
const vm_char *DstFileName = "c:\\TestIt2.mp4";
vm_file *dstFile = vm_file_open(DstFileName, VM_STRING("wb"));
if (NULL == dstFile)
{
sprintf("Error: Can't open output file '%s'\n", DstFileName);
return 9;
}
}




Any help is greatly appreciate, thanks.

Actually, I figured this out. When I changed the character encoding from Multi-byte to None it was fixed.
