The Start method starts the encoding process.

Syntax

WMEncoder.Start

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Return Values

This method does not return a value.

Remarks

The Start method calls WMEncoder.PrepareToEncode if you have not already done so. It is recommended that you call PrepareToEncode so that resources will be reserved and the configuration verified. This minimizes delay when starting the encoding process.

If you are using a device as a source, you can set the SynchronizeOperation property to False to prevent your application from being blocked by the cueing and setup of the device when you start encoding.

Requirements

Reference: Windows Media Encoder

Library: wmenc.exe
