I am begining programing in C(noy C++) and want to learn the way codecs install and work in computers.
Like how can you register your codec so that apps will find it listed as a possibility when you work with an app that encodes video. Also how does the system know what codec to use to decode your codec and how does this work?
Finally I want to know how to serve frames both visual and audio one at a time as an app requests them(both encode and playback).
Sorry if this has been posted before, I tried searching but came up with all kinds of stuff that didn't pertain to the subject that I need.
I have tried looking at some source code but it was in C++ which I hate because of OOP and I don't think that way.
Does anyone know of some good source code in C?
I posted this also on the videohelp.com forum but so far no one has replied.
Thank you.
 
Thanks
I wanted to know how it works for all platforms.
Thanks again for the link I will read it now.
