How our software plays a media file

Our software uses DirectShow to play the media files.
DirectShow reads natively some media files.
With special format media files, DirectShow uses codecs to read them.

ScreenControl (our media player) offers the possibility to chose the renderer (right click in the window and select the menu "Properties").

To know
Windows Media Player uses also Directshow to read the media files.
The used renderer depends of the OS.
