SourceBitRate Property

Summary

Gets the calculated bit rate of the current source media file, in bits per second.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public int SourceBitRate { get; }

public: 
property int SourceBitRate { 
   int get(); 
}

Property Value

A value representing the calculated bit rate of the current source media file.

Remarks

Gets the calculated bit rate of the current source media file, in bits per second. This property is updated automatically when the SourceFile property is set to the current source media file. The bit rate with which this property is updated is calculated as follows: BitRate = (FileSize * 8) / SourceDuration, where FileSize and SourceDuration are found in the SourceFileSize property and the SourceDuration property, respectively. The current source media file is found in the SourceFile property. This is the file that the MediaInfo object gets information for. The SourceFile property must be set before retrieving information from any of the other MediaInfo properties. Call the ResetSource method to release the source file when it is no longer needed.
