Property Value

' Create a WMEncProfile2 object.
  Dim Pro As WMEncProfile2
  Set Pro = New WMEncProfile2

' Load a custom profile. REPLACE THE FILE NAME.
  Pro.LoadFromFile "C:\Profiles\CustomProfile.prx"

' Retrieve a string indicating the video format.
  Dim sBroadcastType As String
  Select Case Pro.BroadcastMode
