## Detailed Description

The QMultimedia namespace contains miscellaneous identifiers used throughout the Qt Multimedia library.

## Type Documentation

### enum QMultimedia::AvailabilityStatus

Enumerates Service status errors.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QMultimedia::Available` | `0` | The service is operating correctly.
`QMultimedia::ServiceMissing` | `1` | There is no service available to provide the requested functionality.
`QMultimedia::ResourceError` | `3` | The service could not allocate resources required to function correctly.
`QMultimedia::Busy` | `2` | The service must wait for access to necessary resources.

### enum QMultimedia::EncodingMode

Enumerates encoding modes.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QMultimedia::ConstantQualityEncoding` | `0` | Encoding will aim to have a constant quality, adjusting bitrate to fit.
`QMultimedia::ConstantBitRateEncoding` | `1` | Encoding will use a constant bit rate, adjust quality to fit.
`QMultimedia::AverageBitRateEncoding` | `2` | Encoding will try to keep an average bitrate setting, but will use more or less as needed.
`QMultimedia::TwoPassEncoding` | `3` | The media will first be processed to determine the characteristics, and then processed a second time allocating more bits to the areas that need it.

### enum QMultimedia::EncodingQuality

Enumerates quality encoding levels.

Constant | Value
--- | ---
`QMultimedia::VeryLowQuality` | `0`
`QMultimedia::LowQuality` | `1`
`QMultimedia::NormalQuality` | `2`
`QMultimedia::HighQuality` | `3`
`QMultimedia::VeryHighQuality` | `4`

### enum QMultimedia::SupportEstimate

Enumerates the levels of support a media service provider may have for a feature.

Constant | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
`QMultimedia::NotSupported` | `0` | The feature is not supported.
`QMultimedia::MaybeSupported` | `1` | The feature may be supported.
`QMultimedia::ProbablySupported` | `2` | The feature is probably supported.
`QMultimedia::PreferredService` | `3` | The service is the preferred provider of a service.
