How to get the list of installed codecs ?

[Kyle_Katarn]

Everything is in the title...

I would like to get the list of installed codecs and the FourCC to which they are related and the file (.ax) associated with each installed decoder.

Is this possible (or anything close to this) ?

Thanks !

G Spot can reveal the codecs/decoders installed.

Check www.doom9.org newss..:)

Check to see if the following RegCode is the same for you...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\{33D9A760-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86}

On my system this is where all the codecs are listed. It could be possable that this {33D9A760-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86} is a fix number. But I only have one pc so... you'll have to check what yours is either way the info should always be under the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\'

Let me know if its the same on your PC

I don't have such key...

Anyway, i've found some code that seems to works properly...

Thank you !

Hi

Is it your code in c++? Or VB or something else?
Can I have it in order to take a look? I would appreciate this :)

I've been searching for this for a long time, and finally solved the problem by myself, with some hard coded tricks.

The only thing I can say is that under win 98 and previous, the informations are not stored into the registry, as far as I know, but in an ini file in the system dir (system.ini if I remember well... or something like that), while under win2k and above all is stored into the registry, but I can't remember the key and I don't have my piece of code with me at the moment. But there was a list reporting something like "xvid" and something else.
Please forgive me, but I'm at work at the moment, and I'vent touched my code for months, so I cannot tell anymore...

Anyhow, if you can let me have your peace of code, I will appreciate studying it.

Bye

P.S. my MMAAT reads installed codecs too :)
