### QM_GetVideoMediaCompression

QM_GetVideoMediaCompression(movieRef; trackID; codecType; codecQuality; codecDepth):error
| movieRef | Longint | Movie reference
| trackID | Longint | Track ID
| codecType | String4 | Codec type
| codecQuality | Longint | Compression quality
| codecDepth | Longint | Color depth
| error | Longint | Error result

Returns the compression options currently used when adding samples to a video track.

Parameter movieRef is the reference to the movie instance. The movie reference must have been previously obtained with a call to QM_NewMovieFromFile.

Parameter trackID is the ID of the track.

Parameter codecType receives the four character identifier of the compressor (codec) component.

Parameter codecQuality receives the compression quality.

Parameter codecDepth receives the color depth at which video samples are compressed. A value of 0 means that the compressor component chooses the best depth for the video samples.

QMedia sets the default compression options to the following values:

Codec: | "jpeg"
Quality: | qm_NormalQuality (512)
Depth: | 0 (use best depth)

Example

``Get the compression settings of video track $trackID` `` `C_STRING(4;$codec)` `C_LONGINT($quality;$depth)` `` `$err:=QM_GetVideoMediaCompression ($movie;$trackID;$codec;$quality;0)` `` ``
