Application Support
Media Foundation, for this initial release in Windows Vista and later release in Windows 7 & Windows 8, finds use in media playback applications. Until now, mainly internal or bundled Windows services and applications are using Media Foundation.
- Windows Media Player 11 in Windows Vista relies on Media Foundation for playing ASF (WMA and WMV) content and protected content, but can also use DirectShow or the Windows Media Format SDK instead. In the case of WMV9 playback, this also implies using DXVA 2.0 instead of DXVA 1.0 when the video hardware supports WMV9/VC-1 decoding acceleration.
- Windows Media Player 12 in Windows 7.
- Windows Media Player in Windows 8.
- Windows Media Center in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and later.
- Any application that uses Windows Protected Media Path (PMP), relies completely on Media Foundation.
- The updated Home Cinema fork of Media Player Classic supports EVR.
- GoldWave 5.60 and later relies on Media Foundation for importing and exporting audio.
