Summary | Specifies the file format for sound files recorded with the record sound command. | |||||||||
Introduced | 2.0 | |||||||||
Changes | The use of QuickTime was deprecated in version 8.1 of LiveCode with new defaults for dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects as true on all systems apart from pre OS X 10.8. The Windows build of LiveCode no longer supports any QuickTime features and setting the dontUseQT and dontUseQTEffects will have no effect. Additionally QuickTime does not include 64 bit support and therefore can not be supported on OS X 64 bit builds of LiveCode. From 9.0, the list of valid recordFormats is no longer a fixed list, but is determined by the current platform support. | |||||||||

Description | Use the recordFormat property to specify what kind of file to create when recording a sound, depending on how the file will be used. The recordFormat property determines what kind of file is created when you use the record sound command to record sound. The recordFormats function returns a list of supported recordFormat values. Not all sound file formats are compatible with all supported codecs. If you try to record sound using a recordCompression that is not compatible with the recordFormat, the compression type will be changed automatically to a codec that is compatible with the specified recordFormat. |
