The ContentMode property specifies and retrieves the mode to use with audio content.

Syntax

IWMEncAudioSource.ContentMode = WMENC_CONTENT_MODE
WMENC_CONTENT_MODE = IWMEncAudioSource.ContentMode

Parameters

This property takes no parameters.

Property Value

A member of the WMENC_CONTENT_MODE enumeration type indicating the audio content mode.

If this property fails, it returns an error number.

Return code Number Description
NS_E_INVALIDCALL_WHILE_ENCODER_RUNNING 0xC00D1B66L This property cannot be set while the encoder engine is running.
E_INVALIDARG 0x80070057 The specified content mode is invalid.

Remarks

The ContentMode property indicates the type of compression to use for the best output quality when working with speech content. If your content is mixed (speech and music), you can use the ContentEDL property to specify an edit decision list (EDL) that indicates which parts of the content are non-speech. You must use the Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codec with this feature.

Example Code

' Create a WMEncoder object.
  Dim Encoder As WMEncoder
  Set Encoder = New WMEncoder

' Create a source group.
  Dim SrcGrpColl As IWMEncSourceGroupCollection
  Dim SrcGrp As IWMEncSourceGroup
  Set SrcGrpColl = Encoder.SourceGroupCollection
  Set SrcGrp = SrcGrpColl.Add("SG_1")

' Add an audio source to the source group and specify an input file.
  Dim SrcAud As IWMEncAudioSource
  Set SrcAud = SrcGrp.AddSource(WMENC_AUDIO)
  SrcAud.SetInput "C:\InputFile.avi" ' REPLACE THIS.

' Specify mixed (audio and speech) mode.
  SrcAud.ContentMode = WMENC_AUDIOCONTENT_MIXED_MODE

' Specify the full path and file name of the EDL.
