StartFromFileRaw method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Starts a new recording session from an input sound file in RAW format.

 

A successful call to this method will fire the RecordingStarted event followed by a number of RecordingPerc events and finally by the RecordingStopped event.

 

For details about recording from files see the How to record from files, memory or clipboard section.

 

 

Syntax

 

[Visual Basic]

Public Function StartFromFileRaw (

strOutputPath as string,

strInputPath as string,

nEncodeMode as enumRAWEncodeModes,

bIsBigEndian as Boolean,

nFrequency as Int32,

nChannels as Int32

) as enumErrorCodes


 

[C#]

public enumErrorCodes StartFromFileRaw (

string strOutputPath,

string strInputPath,

enumRAWEncodeModes nEncodeMode,

bool bIsBigEndian,

Int32 nFrequency,

Int32 nChannels

);


 

[C++]

public: enumErrorCodes StartFromFileRaw (

string strOutputPath,

string strInputPath,

enumRAWEncodeModes nEncodeMode,

bool bIsBigEndian,

Int32 nFrequency,

Int32 nChannels

);


 

 

Parameter

Description

 

 

strOutputPath

String representing the absolute pathname of the output file that will contain the recorded data. If this pathname should contain invalid characters, they would be automatically changed into an underscore '_' character.

If the string is left empty, the recording session will be performed in memory.

strInputPath

String representing the absolute pathname of the input file.

nEncodeMode

Encode mode used to encode the RAW file.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic constant

bIsBigEndian

Boolean flag that specifies if bits order inside the RAW file are little-endian or big-endian

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic Value

Meaning

false

The RAW file is encoded using little-endian

true

The RAW file is encoded using big-endian

nFrequency

Sample rate of the RAW file (e.g. 44100)

nChannels

Number of channels of the RAW file: 1 for Mono or 2 for Stereo

 

 

Return value
