Microsoft® Windows® multimedia support enables applications to use sound and video. It can be used in all Windows-based applications.

The Media Control Interface (MCI) provides standard commands for playing multimedia devices and recording multimedia resource files. MCIWnd is a window class for controlling multimedia devices. Microsoft Video for Windows (VFW) provides functions that enable an application to process video data.

The multimedia input functions were introduced in 16-bit Windows. Many of their features have been superseded by features in DirectX®. For more information, see the Aa286541.leave-site(en-us,MSDN.10).gifDirectX developer page.
