System Entries for Compressors, Decompressors, and Renderers
The system uses entries in the registry to find VCM drivers. These entries are
in the form of two four-character codes separated by a period. The first
four-character code is defined by the system and can be one of the following:
Four-character code
| Description
| "VIDC"
| Identifies compressors and decompressors.
| "VIDS"
| Identifies video-stream renderers.
| "TXTS"
| Identifies text-stream renderers.
| "AUDS"
| Identifies audio-stream handlers.
|
Custom renderers can define their own four-character codes.
The second four-character code is defined by the driver. Typically, the second
four-character code corresponds to the type of data the driver can handle.
When opening a VCM driver, an application specifies the type of driver and the
type of data handler it needs. Typically, this information comes from the
stream header. The system tries to open the specified data handler, but if it
fails, the system searches the registry for a driver that has the required handler.
When searching for the driver, the system tries to match the four-character
codes specified for the driver type and data handler with those specified in the
driver entry. For example, if an application specifies the compressor MSSQ, the
system searches the registry for the driver entry VIDC.MSSQ. If it cannot find
a match, it opens each driver corresponding to the driver type and locates one
that can handle the type of data your application specifies. In the previous
example, if the system could not find VIDC.MSSQ, it would open all drivers with
the "VIDC" four-character code and locate one that can handle the data.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
