The VideoBufferMax property specifies and retrieves the maximum size of the video buffer when using peak VBR mode.

Syntax

IWMEncAudienceObj.VideoBufferMax(iRenderSiteIndex) = Long
Long = IWMEncAudienceObj.VideoBufferMax(iRenderSiteIndex)

Parameters

iRenderSiteIndex

[in]  Integer containing the audience stream index. Because an audience can only contain one stream of each type, iRenderSiteIndex must be zero.

Property Value

A Long that indicates the size of the video buffer, in milliseconds.

Remarks

The VideoBufferMax property indicates the maximum time that a client must wait to play video content that was encoded at peak variable bit rate (VBR).

Example Code

' 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"

' Create an IWMEncAudienceObj object, selecting the first audience (0)
' in the profile.
  Dim Audnc As IWMEncAudienceObj
  Set Audnc = Pro.Audience(0)

' Retrieve the maximum size of the video buffer.
' Divide by 1000 to retrieve the value in seconds.
  Dim lVidBMax As Long
  lVidBMax = Audnc.VideoBufferMax(0) / 1000
