Best scheduling practice using VC++ for capture in directshow

I have one capture application, that performs the MP4 capture. i need to schedule this capture application to capture video of every 30 minutes (or some dynamic value).

I read the MSDN article for IReferenceClock::AdviseTime from article i am not sure but i assume will trigger event when end-time elapses. but it not seems to work . please advice me if my understanding is incorrect about it. Or is any other batter way to repeat schedule in 30 minutes to capture video??

Thanks

IReferenceClock::AdviseTime is what let's close schedule setting an event. Filters might take advantage of this internally as a part of streaming operation. For you, however, this methods is of no use. There is a number of ways to trigger an action every 30 minutes. On a running application you would typically use SetTimer + WM_TIMER API. If you want your app started every 30 minutes, Task Scheduler is here for you.
