How to create a new codec for Windows Media Player...

[JSVachon]

I want to create a new codec for windows media player for my own avi file. I have my own fourCC value and I would like WMP to recognize it and run the proper decoder for my file... Any ideas??? Thanks, JS

write a normal directshow filter. Don't try it, just do it! ;-)

I have a Direct Show filter that I made which enables me to view my video using GraphEdit... In GraphEdit, I can make a filter graph and render the avi... But, how can I make it so Windows Media Player will render my file, without any questions asked?

I finally got it to work! I just had to change the merit value of my filter from MERIT_DO_NOT_USE to MERIT_NORMAL so the intelligent connect tries my filter when trying to load the file. Thanks to everybody that tried to help me! JS
