Cannot Play ASF Files with Custom Codecs in Media Player

Players based on the LEADTOOLS Multimedia toolkit can use VFW or DirectShow video and audio decoders to play ASF files. Media Player requires VFW decoders or ACM audio decoders to play ASF files. Therefore, if you have only a DirectShow decoder for a certain compression algorithm and you use that compression in an ASF file, you can play the ASF file in the LEAD Multimedia Player, but not in the Windows Media Player. To solve this problem, you must obtain a VFW version of the decoder in question. Currently, only the following LEAD codecs have VFW versions:

LEAD MCMP/MJPEG Codec A COmpressor Also known as an encoder, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder. combined with a DECompressor, or encoder Also known as compressor, this is a module or algorithm to compress data. Playing that data back requires a decompressor, or decoder. and a decoder Also known as a decompressor, this is a module or algorithm to decompress data., which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data.encoder and a decoder , which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data.COmpressor combined with a DECompressor, or encoder and a decoder, which allows you to both compress and decompress that same data.
