MFPKEY_COMPLEXITY Property
Specifies the encoder algorithm complexity.
Constant for IPropertyBag
g_wszWMVCComplexityMode
Data Type
VT_I4
Default Value
The default value depends on the version of the video encoder, as shown in the following table.
| Encoder version | Default value |
|---|---|
| Windows Media Video 9 encoder | 3 |
| Windows Media Video 7/8 encoder | 1 |
Remarks
This integer value ranges from 0 to 3. Lower values cause the codec to use less complicated encoding algorithms. Although the simpler algorithms produce lower-quality output, the encoding process is faster and requires less processing power.
This property is superseded by MFPKEY_COMPLEXITYEX, which should be used for new content. However, not all encoding tools use the new property yet.
