Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

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 object section.
