Windows Media Video 9 Decoder

The Windows Media Video 9 decoder decodes video streams that were encoded by the Windows Media Video Encoder. The encoder and decoder support the following four categories of encoded video.

  • Windows Media Video 9 Simple Profile
  • Windows Media Video 9 Main Profile
  • Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile
  • Windows Media Video 9.1 Image

Class Identifier

The class identifier (CLSID) for the Windows Media Video decoder is represented by the constant CLSID_CWMVDecMediaObject. You can create an instance of the video decoder by calling CoCreateInstance.

Interfaces

A video decoder object exposes the IMediaObject interface so that the object can be used as a DirectX Media Object (DMO), and it exposes the IMFTransform interface so that the object can be used as a Media Foundation Transform (MFT).

A video decoder behaves as a DMO or an MFT depending on which interfaces you obtain and which version of Windows is running. The following table shows the conditions under which a video decoder behaves as a DMO or an MFT.

Operating system Decoder behavior
Windows XP A Windows Media video decoder always behaves as a DMO.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 By default, a Windows Media video decoder behaves as a DMO. If you obtain an IMFTransform interface on a video decoder, it behaves as an MFT.

 

Beginning with Windows 7, the Windows Media Video decoder implements the IDMOQualityControl interface.

Input Formats

The following table shows the four-character codes (FOURCCs) that correspond to the categories of encoded input that are supported by the Windows Media Video decoder.

Category FOURCC
Windows Media Video 9 Simple Profile "WMV3"
Windows Media Video 9 Main Profile "WMV3"
Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile "WVC1"
Windows Media Video 9.1 Image "WMVP" for 9.1, "WVP2" for 9.1 version 2
