ICM_COMPRESS_END

  • Article

The ICM_COMPRESS_END message notifies a video compression driver to end compression and free resources allocated for compression. You can send this message explicitly or by using the ICCompressEnd macro.

ICM_COMPRESS_END 
wParam = 0; 
lParam = 0;

Return Values

Returns ICERR_OK if successful or an error otherwise.

Remarks

VCM saves the settings of the most recent ICM_COMPRESS_BEGIN message. ICM_COMPRESS_BEGIN and ICM_COMPRESS_END do not nest. If your driver receives ICM_COMPRESS_BEGIN before compression is stopped with ICM_COMPRESS_END, it should restart compression with new parameters.

Requirements

**  Windows NT/2000/XP:** Included in Windows NT 3.1 and later.
**  Windows 95/98/Me:** Included in Windows 95 and later.
**  Header:** Declared in Vfw.h.
