MediaStreamContainer

A MediaStreamContainer describes a video file format. The most common video file format is AVI.

A list of valid MediaStreamContainer objects can be obtained from ICImagingControl.MediaStreamContainers.

Example

The following code fragment shows how to create a MediaStreamSink to record an AVI file:

[C#]
// Create the MediaStreamSink.
MediaStreamSink aviSink = new MediaStreamSink();
 
// Set AVI as the video file format.
foreach( MediaStreamContainer msc in ICImagingControl1.MediaStreamContainers )
{
    if( msc.Name == "AVI" )
    {
        aviSink.StreamContainer = msc;
        break;
    }
}
 
// Set DV Video encoder as the codec.
foreach( AviCompressor codec in ICImagingControl1.AviCompressors )
{
    if( codec.Name == "DV Video Encoder" )
    {
        aviSink.Codec = codec;
        break;
    }
}
 
// Set a target file name.
aviSink.Filename = "video.avi";
 
// Set the sink.
ICImagingControl1.Sink = aviSink;
 
// Start recording.
ICImagingControl1.LiveStart();

[VB.NET]
' Create the MediaStreamSink.
Dim aviSink As New MediaStreamSink
 
' Set AVI as the video file format.
For Each msc As MediaStreamContainer In IcImagingControl1.MediaStreamContainers
    If msc.Name = "AVI" Then
        aviSink.StreamContainer = msc
        Exit For
    End If
Next
 
' Set DV Video encoder as the codec.
For Each codec As AviCompressor In IcImagingControl1.AviCompressors
    If codec.Name = "DV Video Encoder" Then
        aviSink.Codec = codec
        Exit For
    End If
Next
 
' Set the  target file name.
aviSink.Filename = "video.avi"
 
' Set the sink.
IcImagingControl1.Sink = aviSink
 
' Start recording.
IcImagingControl1.LiveStart()
