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.

Famous quotes containing the words application and/or support:
“The application requisite to the duties of the office I hold [governor of Virginia] is so excessive, and the execution of them after all so imperfect, that I have determined to retire from it at the close of the present campaign.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Every winter the liquid and trembling surface of the pond, which was so sensitive to every breath, and reflected every light and shadow, becomes solid to the depth of a foot or a foot and a half, so that it will support the heaviest teams, and perchance the snow covers it to an equal depth, and it is not to be distinguished from any level field. Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eyelids and becomes dormant for three months or more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
