QuickTime 4 Reference

Standard Compression Components and Settings

QuickTime 3 adds two new settings-related component calls to both the video and sound Standard Compression components: SCGetSettingsAsAtomContainer and SCGetSettingsAsAtomContainer These may also be useful for implementing movie data exchange components. The SCGetSettingsAsAtomContainer routine returns a QT atom container with the current configuration of the particular compression component. SCSetSettingsFromAtomContainer resets the compression component's current configuration. Applications that want to save settings for standard compression components should use these new calls.

For more information about these calls, refer to the Standard Sound Dialog documentation.
