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:
“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose application of the word. Consider the flea!—incomparably the bravest of all the creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“In erotic love, two people who were separate become one. In motherly love, two people who were one become separate. The mother must not only tolerate, she must wish and support the child’s separation.”
—Erich Fromm (20th century)
