Stephen,
Thanks for the thoughts. Unfortunately, it's not this simple. The Rev
command that is designed to do this (save the settings) specifically
does not work under Video for Windows (as stated in the Rev docs). Yet,
the settings are being temporarily stored somewhere in Windows. But
where and how to access? I can't figure it out.

The value is probably stored in a variable. Can you edit the stack and use a
custom property to store instead of RAM? A lot of REV demo stacks are very
basic and it is up to the programmer to take the hooks and actually make a
'program'.

Someone here's just got to have some thoughts on this one. Here's what I
know, all of which can be readily seen from the Video Capture stack that
comes with any copy of Rev (in the Resources --> Sample Projects folder).
Plug a camcorder or webcam into a PC and set the program to VFW (Video for
Windows).
Press Start Preview
Press Video Compression
Now at this point, the selection of any compressor IS saved somewhere,
because if you select a compressor and hit OK, then hit Start Recording,
that newly-selected compressor IS used during the recording of the next
video. Further, if you open Video Source, make a change, then go back to
Video Compression, the change from before is still intact. But if you quit
the program and reopen it, the changes are gone. So the change IS being
stored somewhere (a variable?... a Windows setting?) for the time during a
given session AND passed to some place where Start Recording can then access
it. Any thoughts on where it is stored and how to make it available to
future recording sessions? What is it that Start Recording (under VFW) is
tapping into as the settings to be used in the next recording?
Thanks.

Is there a way to save (and later access) the compression and video format
settings using the Video for Windows option when capturing video through
Rev? I've only ever used Quicktime, which I know can save these using the
revVideoGrabSettings. But that option doesn't work for VFW. Anyone figure
out a workaround for this?
Thanks.
