Hi,

I'm trying to create a plug-in that saves out render data to an external file. I can do this by querying the base container line by line for every value there (for example with RDATA_FRAMERATE, RDATA_ANTIALIASING, etc.) and storing those values in variables. This is pretty time consuming and not very flexible.

The other way I can do this is to get the data by iterating through the Index Ids, which works, as well, but I can't figure out how to actually get an associated container name for those IDs (which I would really like to have). For example, I can get a value of 320 for ID 5008, which corresponds to output resolution width, but, I'd like it to return "RDATA_XPIX."

Is there any way to do this?

iterating through the IDs is not save, they might change with future versions of Cinema.

cheers,

So, you think it is better to hard code this line by line? This is definitely doable, but leaves me in the dark a little bit since I don't know what video post plug-ins a user might have. (For instance, VRay is supposed to be released soon)

I'd still like to know if there is a way to return the name of the container. It will make it a lot easier to code this, rather than having to dig through the SDK to find what I'm looking for.
