VideoCodecFOURCC Property

Returns a Long value specifying the format of the video codec.

Syntax

NSASFRte.VideoCodeFOURCC

Remarks

FOURCC is an industry-standard format that describes a video or audio format. The number returned is 32 bits; each 8 bits represents a character, and the four characters together describe the format. (The order of the characters is right to left.) For example, if the hexadecimal value returned is 0x3336326D, this represents the Microsoft H.263 Video Codec (m263).

For a Visual Basic code sample that can convert a FOURCC value to a human-readable string, see the VideoInputFOURCC property.

If 0 (zero) is returned, the format is standard RGB.
