ICCompressEnd macro (vfw.h)

Article
02/22/2024

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

Syntax

void ICCompressEnd(
   hic
);

Parameters

hic

Handle of the compressor.

Return value

None

Remarks

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