Possible to utilize H.264 and MP3 decoders built into Windows?

[Zach Bennett]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a way to legitimately support H.264 video in a node-webkit app without licensing decoder patents.  I know Mozilla recently managed this with Firefox.  Does anyone know if it's possible to do the same with node-webkit (or if it will be possible in the future)?

Thanks in advance!

I should have mentioned this in my original post...  For those not familiar with Mozilla's solution, H.264 and MP3 decoding is handled by the operating system.  Since Windows 7 and 8 both come packaged with the proper codecs, Mozilla can support the encoding without licensing the codecs or packaging them with Firefox.

Did you find any solution for this?

I'm currently looking for a way yo play 3D video in nwjs.

Depending on your situation maybe a VLC plugin could work.

I looked into this option. However, VLC does not yet support 3D video
decoding. I'm still thinking on a plugin based approach where I could
be using NaCl, JavaFX or a totally custom player.

¿Isn't 3D video just a regular video with half of the video for each eye?
