AvailableCodecs Class

In This Topic

Contains static properties and methods that allow to get a list of available codecs (pair of decoder-encoder) and add new codec to a list of available codecs.

Example

Here is an example that shows how to get information about available codecs:

VB.NET


''' <summary>
''' Shows detailed information about available codecs.
''' </summary>
Public Shared Sub ShowAvailableCodecsInfo()
    For Each codec As Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Codec In Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.AvailableCodecs.Codecs
        Dim codecInfo As String = ""
        If codec.CanCreateDecoder AndAlso codec.CanCreateEncoder Then
            codecInfo = "decoder, encoder"
        ElseIf codec.CanCreateDecoder Then
            codecInfo = "decoder"
        ElseIf codec.CanCreateEncoder Then
            codecInfo = "encoder"
        End If
        System.Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0} codec ({1}):", codec.Name, codecInfo))
        System.Console.Write("  File extensions:")
        For i As Integer = 0 To codec.FileExtensions.Length - 1
            System.Console.Write(String.Format(" *{0}", codec.FileExtensions(i).ToLowerInvariant()))
        Next
        System.Console.WriteLine()
    Next
End Sub
