Windows 7 has a built in codec to play h.264 standard videos. I want to call that codec through JavaScript for one of my application development. Is it possible to do that?

Thanks.

Solution 1

As per my knowledge, writing an ActiveX control would grant you complete access to Win7 system files.

You don't 'call a codec' not even in C++. You play a video and the codec gets used as needed. Use Windows Media Player as a control, and you'll find that it will play the files fine. Of course, it's a bit bizarre that you'd write a website that only works on Weven.
