I want to write my own audio-video decoder and install it in windows and then wanna play files using windows media player or media player classic.

My question is how to install any codec in windows? In which location I have to place those binary files and what are the registry settings needed to be applied? So that any player can determine it automatically and plays with it.

Please guide me, I'm new to this area and want to explore it.

Thanks in advance.. :cool:

I think you will have to write DirectShow filters so that Windows Media Player can understand your codec. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd375454(VS.85).aspx[^]
