IEAVISelectCodec

Declaration

function IEAVISelectCodec(const DefaultCodec: AnsiString = ''): AnsiString;

Description

Displays the Windows Codec Selection dialog. If the user selects a codec it is returned as a FourCC codec string. Otherwise '' is returned.
The dialog is positioned as specified by SystemDialogCentering (default is centered over the calling form).
DefaultCodec is the FourCC of the codec to select initially (e.g. the current one). Use 'DIB ' for "Full Frames (Uncompressed)".

This can then be used in methods such as CreateAVIFile.

Example

// Allow the user to change the codec
codec := IEAVISelectCodec( AnsiString( edtCodec.Text ));
if codec <> '' then
  edtCodec.Text := string( codec );
