14.7. MS Video Dlls

14.7.1. Contents

The MSVFW32 (and its 16 bit sibbling MSVIDEO) provide encode/decode video streams. Those DLLs only implement the proper switch between a caller and a driver providing the implementation of the requested format coding/decoding operation.

There's nothing specific in Wine's implementation compared to Windows' one. Here's however a list of the builtin decoding drivers:

Note that Wine also supports native video codecs as well.

All builtin VIDC drivers are 32 bit Unicode DLLs
