ConvertQuickTimeToiPod

Description

Converts a media file to a format that can be played by an iPod.

Syntax

[C#/C++]
public Bool ConvertQuickTimeToiPod (BSTR sInFile, BSTR sOutFile);

[VB.NET]
Public Function ConvertQuickTimeToiPod (ByVal sInFile As String, ByVal sOutFile As String) As Boolean

Parameters

sInFile : the media file to convert.

sOutFile : The file to create.
 

Return Values

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

If the function succeeds, the return value is non-zero.
 

Remarks

The method accepts as input almost any file that can be played by the QuickTime media player application. This file need not contain a video and audio stream - e.g. it can be an mp3 file.

The converted file will be in the mp4 container format, containing H264 video and AAC audio.

Either QuickTime Pro or version 7.6 or newer of the free version of QuickTime is required to be installed for this method to function correctly. The program can use FBEditor::IsConvertToiPodSupported to check that the correct version of QuickTime is installed.
