Remarks

Not all file formats support interleaving. For example, AVI file format supports interleave mode, while WMV file format does not. The interleave mode is ignored for the formats that do not support it.

Interleave mode tells the multiplexer (the module that combines audio and video into one file) the method for combining data from various streams (video, audio, etc) in the file. Some interleaving modes will require more processing and more memory, but will generate files more suitable for streaming. Other interleaving modes will be faster, and should be used when speed is necessary (for example, during capture).

For a list of possible values, refer to the CaptureInterleavingMode enumeration values.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 family, Windows Server 2008 family, Windows Vista, Windows 7
