DWORD |
CompressionRatio |
Contains a value that represents a compression ratio. Possible values are from 1 to 500, where 1 represents the best quality and lowest compression and 500 represents the highest compression and lowest quality. |
| DWORD | AvgTimePerFrame | (Read Only) Contains a value that represents the Average Time Per Frame for the input stream. |
| DWORD | FrameWidth | (Read Only) Contains a value that represents the Frame Width for the input stream. |
| DWORD | FrameHeight | (Read Only) Contains a value that represents the Frame Height for the input stream. |
| DWORD | BitsPerPixel | (Read Only) Contains a value that represents the Bits Per Pixel for the input stream. |

Description |
PerfectQuality_1 |
Compresses all colors of a 24-bit file and maintains the quality of the original image at a smaller file size. There is no visual loss of color at this setting. This results in a compression ratio of about 18:1. |
PerfectQuality_2 |
This produces a smaller file size than PerfectQuality_1 while maintaining similar quality. This results in a compression ratio of about 24:1. |
QualityFarMoreImportantThanSize |
Removes colors not noticed by the human eye. Most viewers cannot tell the difference between an image compressed at this level and the original image. This results in a compression ratio of about 30:1. |
QualityMoreImportantThanSize |
Removes more colors than QualityFarMoreImportantThanSize, most of which are colors or shades close to one another. The compressed image appears very much like the original image. Requires very close examination to see the difference. This results in a compression ratio of about 40:1. |
QualityAndSizeAreEquallyImportant |
Provides the highest compression while maintaining good image quality. Try this option first, and then move up or down the list accordingly to obtain acceptable compression size and image quality. This results in a compression ratio of about 55:1. |
SizeMoreImportantThanQuality_1 |
Sharp. - Recommended for images that have sharp edges, such as an image with a text overlay or an image with many straight lines. While it creates a larger file than SizeMoreImportantThanQuality_2, it retains better edges. This results in a compression ratio of about 70:1. |
SizeMoreImportantThanQuality_2 |
Less tiling. Produces less tiling in the image than the previous options. However, it may distort text or straight lines. It is a good option for image database applications. This results in a compression ratio of about 90:1. |
HighCompressionKeepQuality |
Provides maximum compression while maintaining the highest image quality possible. This results in a compression ratio of about 110:1. |
HighCompression |
Provides near-maximum compression. This results in a compression ratio of about 140:1. |
HighcompressionFast |
Provides near-maximum compression. This results in a compression ratio of about 180:1. |
HypercompressionFast |
Provides maximum compression. This results in a compression ratio of about 220:1. |
