EstimateOutputBitRate Method (ConvertCtrl)






Gets the estimated conversion output bit rate, in bits per second.
Syntax
public virtual int EstimateOutputBitRate()
'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Function EstimateOutputBitRate() As Integer
'Usage
 
Dim instance As ConvertCtrl
Dim value As Integer
 
value = instance.EstimateOutputBitRate()
public:
virtual int EstimateOutputBitRate(); 

Return Value

Estimated conversion output bit rate, in bits per second.
Remarks
The retrieved bit rate depends on the state of the convert object. If the object is in the running state, the retrieved bit rate is related to the actual number of bytes written. If the object is not running, the retrieved bit rate is a theoretical value dependent on the conversion settings and the chosen encoding settings.
