The following code illustrates how to save a device element to a new file and receive notification upon completion.

 USHORT               usDeviceID;
 HWND                 hwndMyWindow;
 MCI_SAVE_PARMS       msp;

 /* Assign hwndCallback the handle to the PM Window                    */

 msp.hwndCallback = hwndMyWindow;


 msp.pszFileName = (PVOID) "movie.avi";      /* File name to save      */

 mciSendCommand( usDeviceID,                 /* Device ID              */
   MCI_SAVE,                                 /* MCI save message       */
   MCI_NOTIFY | MCI_SAVE_VIDEO_FILE,
                                             /* Flags for this message */
   (PVOID) &msp,                             /* Data structure         */
   0);                                       /* No user parm           */
