CoreAVC, FFDshow, AC3filter, etc. codecs

VLC only uses built in codecs (see 2) so it doesn't support VfW or DirectShow APIs for codecs. You are free to hack the source and use it, though, for example it is possible to make VLC into a directshow filter 3.

This page is part of the informal VLC Support Guide.
