Why not include DirectShow Plug-ins?
I know that this may not be here, but I find that this seems to be the best place to put what I'm about to write.
Whenever we download a codec for dMC, we can use it to convert files.
However, since most people only wants to maintain one set of play lists in their computers, they would only want to use one single software to open all their media. I, for one, only like to use Windows Media Player since it can handle play lists well and that in can play Audio and Video.
Assuming you want to convert a Windows Media Audio file (*.wma) to an Ogg Vorbis file (*.ogg) for its smaller size and slightly higher quality, you can. But the problem is that you cannot play the file immediately. You will need to download more plug-ins for Windows Media Player to work.
So, the logical thing is that including the relevant codecs into the codec packs so that users can convert and play the files immediately.
Why not use dBpowerAMP Music Player, you ask?
This is because I do not only listen to audio, I do video editing as well so I need to use a player to handle my video as well, something dMC Music Player cannot do.
People naturally have the tendency to stick to one Player only, and telling them to switch to another player may cause a lot of frustration as well. So, why not include the common ActiveX controls (*.ax) so that the Computer can immediately play the file...
