Video capture to AVI file using Video Capture SDK .Net

Sample code

Create VFAVIOutput object

VFAVIOutput aviOutput = new VFAVIOutput();

Set AVI settings using the settings dialog

AVISettingsDialog aviSettingsDialog = new AVISettingsDialog(
  VideoCapture1.Video_Codecs.ToArray(),
  VideoCapture1.Audio_Codecs.ToArray());

aviSettingsDialog.ShowDialog(this);

aviSettingsDialog.SaveSettings(ref aviOutput);

Set AVI settings without using the settings dialog

Get lists of audio and video codecs, fill comboboxes

We using two comboboxes in WinForms application – cbVideoCodecs and cbAudioCodecs.

foreach (string codec in VideoCapture1.Video_Codecs)
{
  cbVideoCodecs.Items.Add(codec);
}

foreach (string codec in VideoCapture1.Audio_Codecs)
{
  cbAudioCodecs.Items.Add(codec);
}

Set video settings

aviOutput.Video_Codec = cbVideoCodecs.Text;

Set audio settings

aviOutput.ACM.Name = cbAudioCodecs.Text;
aviOutput.ACM.Channels = 2;
aviOutput.ACM.BPS = 16;
aviOutput.ACM.SampleRate = 44100;
aviOutput.ACM.UseCompression = true;
