Use C# to Get Information about a Hosted AVI File

The following code sample demonstrates, how to fetch information of a cloud hosted AVI video file using C# code:

var localName = "sample.avi";
var remoteName = "TestGetVideo.avi";
var fullName = Path.Combine(this.dataFolder, remoteName);

this.StorageApi.PutCreate(fullName, null, null, File.ReadAllBytes(BaseTestContext.GetDataDir() + localName));
var request = new GetVideoRequest(remoteName, this.dataFolder);
var actual = this.VideoApi.GetVideo(request);

Convert AVI to MP4 Video File using C# Code

The following C# code sample elaborates, how to convert a video AVI file to MP4 video file in the cloud:

var localName = "sample.avi";
var remoteName = "toconvert.avi";
var fullName = Path.Combine(this.dataFolder, remoteName);
var resultPath = Path.Combine(this.dataFolder, "converted.mp4");
ConvertOptions options = new ConvertOptions();

this.StorageApi.PutCreate(fullName, null, null, File.ReadAllBytes(BaseTestContext.GetDataDir() + localName));

var request = new PostConvertVideoRequest(remoteName, "mp4", resultPath, options, this.dataFolder);
var actual = this.VideoApi.PostConvertVideo(request);
