If you use the Windows Vista Media Center you might have noticed that playback for various formats is not supported by default. You can’t playback divx, xvid or h.264 movies or play mp3 or aac files by default which is really annoying if you want or have to use the media center.
The media control plugin for Windows Vista media center adds functionality to it including support for the mentioned codecs and features that they support like multiple audio streams and subtitles. Take a look at the most important features below:
- Switching embedded audio and subtitles streams while playing a video: works with AVI, OGM, MKV
- Switching between external subtitle files (.SRT, .SUB)
- Switching between FFDShow presets (audio & video)
- Setting and loading bookmarks inside a video
- Real fast forward (and rewind) exactly like in the TV module (with 3 different speeds)
- Switching and setting post-processing filters in FFDShow (video filters only)
- Separate application to assign keyboard/remote control shortcuts to the commands and the MCML pages of the plugin
