Get and set values in windows registry

[ivanicy]

Hello!!

I am trying to modify the windows registry. I want to set a couple of things of a video codec.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\x264vfw64]
"preset"="medium"
"tuning"=""

This is part of a .reg file that I have to set the codec properties. I want to modify this properties in my application. How can I read and modify the "preset" and "tuning" values?

Thank you very much!

@ivanicy

@raven-worx Yes, I am looking for examples of this, but I don't know how to use it :(

@ivanicy what about this? spoiler alert: not teasted, just a suggestion. Please back up your registry!

QSettings settings("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\GNU\\x264vfw64",
                   QSettings::NativeFormat);
settings.setValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\GNU\\x264vfw64\\preset", "medium");

If I get the example linked by @raven-worx correctly, it should rather be:

QSettings settings("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\GNU\\x264vfw64",
                   QSettings::NativeFormat);
settings.setValue("preset", "medium");
