BitRate Property

Summary

Gets the average bit rate achieved by the multiplexer.

Syntax

C++

[DispIdAttribute(1)] 
int BitRate {get;}

  
<DispIdAttribute(1)> 
ReadOnly Property BitRate As Integer

[DispIdAttribute(1)] 
property int BitRate { 
   int get(); 
}

Property Value

An System.Int32 value that represents the average bit rate achieved by the multiplexer.

Remarks

The average bit rate is affected dramatically by the input media type. Compressed media has a much smaller bit rate.
