Possible to change WMP11's mp3 decoder?
Vigylant 16.06.2007 11:28:00
Well, like the topic says, is it possible?
Id like to change the Fraunhofer one with a more lightweight one, using a
DirectShow filter which connects to the BASS plugin (www.un4seen.com)

But ive google'd, and fraunhofer is the ONLY ACM decoder avaliable... Any
workarounds?

Yes you can change the MP3 codec, but only to certified to be WMP compliant
codecs.
The one that ships, along with codecs you can purchase that are listed on
http://www.wmplugins.com with direct links below are Windows Media Player
compliant.

Cyberlink MP3: http://www.wmplugins.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemID=232
Intervideo MP3: http://www.wmplugins.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemID=149
Sonic MP3: http://www.wmplugins.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemID=660

Anything else is not certified to be compliant at this time, so no, using
the codec package you indicated in your post won't work.

Sorry to disappoint!

Thanks!

My apologies for misunderstanding your question. I read "decoder" as "codec"
thinking you wanted to change the encoder.

The answer to your question though, is still no, you cannot change the
playback codec.

Sorry!
