'Declaration
 
Public ReadOnly Property VideoCompression As Integer

'Usage
 
Dim instance As MediaInfo
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.VideoCompression

Property Value

A value (FOURCC code) representing the type of compression used for the current stream in the current source media file.

The video compression type is indicated by a FOURCC value. For a list of FOURCC values, refer to the Microsoft documentation on FOURCC Codes. This property will not be updated if the current stream is not a video stream. This property is updated automatically when the CurrentStream property is set to a video stream. The current source media file, found in the SourceFile property, is the file that the MediaInfo object gets information for. The SourceFile property must be set before retrieving information from any of the other MediaInfo properties.
