Codec Creation yaniv 10/11/2008 3:41:00 PM Hi, I want to develop a custom codec for the windows media player to play custom created wav files. Where could I find good information on how to start such a project ? Is there any sample codec in msdn ? Thanks.

If you plan to be file format compatible, i.e. stay 100% within the WAV file spec then all you will need is an encoder and decoder. You can write these as a DMO, DirectShow filter, or ACM codec. ACM codec is the old school method used since Windows 3.1, but DMO's are the easiest and have the widest reach. I'm not sure about Vista however. On Vista WAV files may be rendered with Media Foundation rather than DirectShow, in which case a DMO will not work unless Media Foundation has a DMO wrapper. > Is there any sample codec in msdn ? I'm not aware of any official samples in the current SDK's but they're may be an older one floating about. -- http://www.chrisnet.net/code.htm [MS MVP for DirectShow / MediaFoundation]

You can observe ffdshow filter source files, for very good reference. Source codes are on sourceforge CVS. Jerislav
