SyncPoint Property

Summary
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the beginning of the sample is a synchronization point.
Syntax
C#
VB
C++
public bool SyncPoint { get; set; } 
Public Property SyncPoint As Boolean 
public: 
property bool SyncPoint { 
   bool get(); 
   void set (    bool ); 
}

Property Value

true when the beginning of this sample is a synchronization point; false, otherwise.

Remarks

Streams can begin at any synchronization point. With some compression types, streaming can begin only at certain points in the stream, for example, on key frames.
