Summary | Returns a list of audio codecs supported by the currently installed version of QuickTime. | ||||||
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. | ||||||

Description | Use the recordCompressionTypes function to find out which formats you can use to record sound with the record sound command. You specify a codec by setting the recordCompression property to one of the four- character identifiers returned by the recordCompressionTypes. The record sound command then uses that codec to compress recorded sounds. Each codec supports a different type of compression. The recordCompressionTypes function requires QuickTime to be installed. If QuickTime is not installed, the recordFormats function returns empty.
