Gets a value that indicates whether the state of the DV Decoder is in use.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property UsingDVDecoder As Boolean
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As CaptureCtrl
Dim value As Boolean
 
value = instance.UsingDVDecoder
C#

public:
virtual property bool UsingDVDecoder {
   bool get();
}

Property Value

true if the DV decoder is being used; false, otherwise.
