DIVX settings - from Code

[nkarnold]

Hi all,

Anyone any idea on how to from (vb.net, vb, vc), to get at the Divx compressor settings screen (the one, where you can choose your profile, settings etc).

Thanks

You will need to use the VCM API

the call (well macro) which makes this happen is http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_icconfigure.asp

you will however need to get a handle to the divx compressor first. take a look at the avs2avi source code for how to get the handle via the DIVX fourcc code.

Hi,

I made divx settings thing ages ago, i should have posed the code before anyhoo here it is now. (VB.NET)
My method used the registry to change the settings. I used Divx5.(point.something). I donno how its changed in Divx6, but i assume its simmilar.

See attached file (to long to post)
DivxSettings.vb

and some example code for testing:


Dim MySettings As New DIVXSettings

'set the bitrate value - in the reg
MySettings.Bitrate = 40000 '

'get the bitrate value - in the reg
MsgBox(MySettings.Bitrate)


I'm sure there is better / nicer code. Like i said i did it a wile ago and wansn't trying very hard.

Good Luck
