SetCompression syntax

[tHe gLouCh]

Could someone tell me if there is a difference between these lines ?... I mean on the final movie quality?

VirtualDub.video.SetCompression(0x64697678,0,10000,0);

VirtualDub.video.SetCompression();

If you are (re)compressing the video (i.e. "Fast/Normal Recompress" or "Full processing mode") the first line will compress using the XviD codec, while the second line will leave your video uncompressed.

So of cource there will be a difference in quality (compressing - using XviD or any other lossy codec - will make you lose some quality compared to an uncompressed video) but in size too (uncompressed video takes really a lot of space - many GBs for a few minutes of a video clip).
