RecommendedVideoCompressor Property

Summary

This property is updated with the recommended video compressor for the selected target format.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public string RecommendedVideoCompressor { get; }

public: 
property String^ RecommendedVideoCompressor { 
   String^ get(); 
}

Property Value

A string value representing the recommended video compressor name.

Remarks

This property is updated with the recommended video compressor for the selected target format. Currently, the toolkit does not recommend compressors for all formats, so if the property is updated with an empty string, then there is no recommended video compressor for the selected target format.

Example

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Multimedia; 
using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm(); 
 
public void TargetFormatsExample() 
{ 
   // reference the capture control 
   CaptureCtrl capturectrl = _form.CaptureCtrl; 
 
   try 
   { 
      // set the video capture device. use your capture device's name here 
      if (capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB video device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.VideoDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // set the audio capture device. use your capture device's name here 
      if (capturectrl.AudioDevices["USB"] == null) 
         throw new Exception("No USB audio device available"); 
 
      capturectrl.AudioDevices["USB"].Selected = true; 
 
      // no recompression for video and audio 
      capturectrl.VideoCompressors.Mpeg2.Selected = true; 
      capturectrl.AudioCompressors.AC3.Selected = true; 
 
      // select the DVD target format 
      capturectrl.TargetFormats[TargetFormatType.DVD].Selected = true; 
 
      // get the current selected input 
      int n = capturectrl.TargetFormats.Selection; 
 
      // loop through the target formats and set a different one 
      foreach (TargetFormat t in capturectrl.TargetFormats)

            break; 
         } 
      } 
 
      // check it directly 
      TargetFormatType tft = capturectrl.TargetFormat; 
 
      // set the result to what we expect 
      _result = (tft != TargetFormatType.DVD && n != capturectrl.TargetFormats.Selection); 
   } 
   catch (Exception) 
   { 
      _result = false; 
   } 
 
   // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
   // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application. 
   while (capturectrl.State == CaptureState.Running) 
      Application.DoEvents();
