Installed Codecs
The codecs that ship with Windows Embedded CE and appear in the Catalog are installed in the run-time image during the sysgen process. Their settings are not exposed in the registry.
If you want to install your own codec, you must create the following two registry subkeys:
-
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Imaging\Codecs\
<Codec Name>
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Imaging\Codecs\
<Codec Name>
.
The codec name that forms the last portion of these registry subkeys is the same value that is stored in the CodecNamemember of the ImageCodecInfoclass.
Both subkeys use the same named values and each named value corresponds to a member of the ImageCodecInfoclass. The following table shows the named values for these subkeys.
