Retrieves a value that indicates if the specified compressor Also known as an encoder Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder., this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor Also known as a decoder, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data., or decoder Also known as a decompressor, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data.. is valid for the currently selected target format The format to be used for the converted file. This includes the file format, any special settings used by that format, and which audio and/or video codec A COmpressor combined with a DECompressor, or encoder and a decoder, which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data. is to be used for the conversion, and any special settings used by the codecs. in the capture or convert parent object.

Parameter	Description
