How to get information about installed codecs ...
-
... or supported MIME-Types? I try to code a tiny Multimedia-App (which also uses DirectShow). For error handling, i need to know something about the capabilities of the desired Viewer (supported Audio- / Videocodecs). Any idea, how to get a list of installed codecs on the local machine? I dont know where to look :-| Hints are very welcome :-|

I think you should be able to know installed software (i.e. codecs) through browsing in the registry. I can help you much more, bit if you look "registry" in the forum you will find a lot of interestan messages that maybe give you ideas. hope it helps.
