Settings window

[REIGN_]

How can i open the settings window for the codecs. I mean the window where you set the bitrate the compression method etc, etc. I use VB6.

Try to take a look at avs2avi sources in this forum.
Sources are in c, but i think it's not difficult to traslate it to VB.

Thank you very much but avs2avi just pops up the window with all the codecs. I just need the codec properties at once. This was very helpful though. Thanks

- ICOpen
- ICConfigure

But you must know the fccHandler of the codec to pass it to the ICOpen function.

So i think looking at the avs2avi source is the best way to learn how those things works ;)

I wonder why the code works with FourCC
divx and xvid but crashes with fvfw,
anybody a idea?

Thanks

Public Shared Sub ShowDialog(ByVal handle As Integer, ByVal fourCC As String)
Const DRV_USER As Integer = &H4000
Const ICM_RESERVED As Integer = DRV_USER + &H1000
Const ICM_CONFIGURE As Integer = (ICM_RESERVED + 10)
Const ICM_GETSTATE As Integer = (ICM_RESERVED + 0)
Const ICM_SETSTATE As Integer = (ICM_RESERVED + 1)

Dim fccType, fccHandler, hic As Integer
fccType = mmioStringToFOURCC("vidc", &H10)
fccHandler = mmioStringToFOURCC(fourCC, &H10)
hic = ICOpen(fccType, fccHandler, 0)
ICSendMessage(hic, ICM_CONFIGURE, handle, 0)
ICClose(hic)
End Sub
