Playblast Compression Type

Anonymous

Hey Guys

is there a way to set the compression type for the playblast using MEL. No matter what i choose in the settings it always seems to give "none" in the compression setting. I know that maya creates the list using the codecs installed on the system but is there a way to get the list that maya uses when you actually playblast. I am sure some one else must have tried this before. Any help would be appreciated.

I also would like to specify my codec in the command line. ie.
playblast -startTime 1 -endTime 20 -format movie -viewer 1 -percent 100 -compression none -widthHeight 960 540;
although instead of "-compression none" I want "-compression appleProRes" but don't know how to set that. Can someone PLEASE resond?
