Remarks

Determines if FFDSHOW is installed inside the system. FFDSHOW is a media decoder and encoder mainly used for the fast and high-quality decoding of several video and audio formats through DirectShow and is usually installed by K-Lite Codec pack.

Important note

Since 2016 FFDSHOW filters are no more included inside the K-Lite Codec Pack so this method is now obsolete.

For further details about the use of the embedded video player see the VideoPlayer class section.

For details about video clips rendering refer to the How to play video files through DirectShow section.
