[webkit-dev] [WinCairo] : ENABLE_VIDEO => how to activate HTML5 video tag ?

[Justin Haygood]

Would it be possible to use Media Foundation with a fall back? You can't depend on Media Foundation even on Windows Vista+ anyway (N editions don't have it), but it's a COM API so you can detect that it is not available to use something else.

Hi Alex,

So Our Choices so far:

GStreamer
FFMPeg (http://www.ffmpeg.org/)
Media Foundation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms696274(v=vs.85).aspx)
WebM (http://www.webmproject.org/)

Chrome's part source code for:

FFMpeg: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/media/ffmpeg/
WebM: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/media/webm/



Regards,

Mital Vora.

The only problem with Media Foundation is that it is Vista-and-newer only.  There is no Windows XP version.

Alex, Brendan:

I do think that something like Media Foundation would be a useful way to go, since WinCairo is pretty solidly Windows-only.

By the way, if this is just for Windows, you may want to look at Media Foundation<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Foundation>.

Also, I took at look at the media players before Chromium was removed, and I didn't see an FFMPEG media player. Maybe Chromium's media player has always been in the Chromium tree instead of the WebKit tree.
