To my knowledge, Indeo is only supported in Windows 11 when a necessary registry addition is made under the Drivers32 and driver.desc folders in the registry. However MPC-HC proceeds to run the videos on its own without any registry change.

It makes me believe that MPC-HC provides legacy codecs with itself too. Is there a way to see what codecs it provides?

Open settings, internal filters.

Yes I have checked it but it only provides options in container format. Indeo, which is probably a DirectShow format, doesn't STOP WORKING if that filter is disabled.

AFAIK, MPC-HC does NOT provide filters. It has some internal libraries that can reproduce that kind of videos, not wide system filters.

The difference is that MPC-HC can show those videos, but no other applications (i.e.: games) can show this videos even if MPC-HC is installed.

Hm that makes sense, the internal local library should be in effect and not a global filter, else WMP would have worked too
