AVC Streaming Plugin for WMP is the package of components for receiving and decoding media data from network (UDP, RTP over UDP, TCP, RTP over TCP) with the RTSP protocol support. The plugin allows decoding of AVC/H.264 (MPEG-4 P.10 ISO/IEC 14496-10), MPEG-4 (ISO/IEC 14496-3) AAC audio received from network only.

Features:

* Software-only ISO/IEC 14496 part 10 AVC / ITU-T Recommendation H.264 stream decoding.
* All features of Baseline, Main Profiles support.
* Full-quality decoding/playback.
* Postprocessing (deinterlacing, fields reordering).
* Optimized for the most efficient CPU usage – takes advantage of MMX™ Extensions, SSE2™, and 3DNow® SIMD extensions when available.
* Optimized for symmetric multiprocessing (Hyper-Threading Technology, multiple CPU and multiple cores).
* Decodes MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818-7) and MPEG-4 (ISO/IEC 14496-3 not including Amd.1:2003 and Amd.2:2004) AAC audio streams.
* Supports Main, LC, LTP and ER BSAC audio object types.
