Configuring Screen Capture Streams
[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Format 11 SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by Source Reader and Sink Writer. Source Reader and Sink Writer have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use Source Reader and Sink Writer instead of Windows Media Format 11 SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]
Streams that use the Windows Media® Video 9 Screen codec are configured by applications in the same way as normal video streams. However, if you set the video complexity level to 0, the writer will ignore any video quality value set with IWMVideoMediaProps::SetQuality. For more information, see Getting Good Results with the Windows Media Video 9 Screen Codec.
