kVTCompressionPropertyKey_MoreFramesBeforeStart

A Boolean value that indicates whether and how a compression session concatenates frames with other compressed frames to form a longer series.

Declaration

let kVTCompressionPropertyKey_MoreFramesBeforeStart: CFString

Discussion

This value is true if frames compressed in a separate session will be concatenated before the beginning of the current session. The value is false if the current session is a stand-alone session, or if this session will encode the first segment of a multi-segment compression. The default value is false.

This information enables video encoders to ensure that compressed segments can be concatenated smoothly – for example, avoiding data rate spikes where segments are joined.
