RecommendedVideoCompressor Property

Summary

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

Syntax

C++

public string RecommendedVideoCompressor { get; }

Public ReadOnly Property RecommendedVideoCompressor As String

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 LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
public bool _result = false; 
public CaptureCtrlForm _form = new CaptureCtrlForm();
