This is not a link you will find in the guide on what DirectShow filters to install for M4A file support. When you talk about referenced package, do you mean the one referenced in the guide or the one you linked to in your first post?Īs a reminder, this is the link you posted: I take it you mean, and again the site appears to be down at the moment from my end so I can't check or download anything from there.

Windows 10 was NOT among those stipulated for that package. However the referenced filter pack age obtained from had to be insta lled on Windows 7. The error received (screenshot attached) on Windows 10 is the same as on Windows 7. You use ImgBurn, and in turn ImgBurn uses DirectShow (with assistance from additional filters if need be).

How to use DirectShow features on Windows 10? What features? It's not something you as a user should ever be concerned with. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. Only if you're working with other file types that you may need to install filters, and a list with links to filters for common audio file types is given in the guide.ĭirectShow will eventually be replaced by Media Foundation, but DirectShow is still present in Windows 10.

You should not need to install any DirectShow filters if you're working with any of these file types. Support for MP3, PCM, WAV and WMA should be built into Windows - at least it is on XP / Vista / 7. ImgBurn relies on DirectShow / ACM for decoding your audio files.Īs such, you'll need to have the appropriate filters installed for the types of files you'll be burning. Would appreciate suggestions for those with the necessary knowledge. This idea is pure speculation but leads me to conclude that it is either correct or I'm in need help figuring out how to make this feature of IMGburn work on Windows 10. This suggests that these features of IMGburn simply can NOT be made to work on Windows 10. This would explain how my Windows 10 system might contain the underlying software needed to support the directshow API but NOT support the interface being used by IMGburn.

This leads me to think that for Windows 10 the interface (API) may have changed. Insofar as I couldn't find any indication that there was a separate add-on package available but plenty of information about how to develop software that uses the interface. Windows 10 looks like a different situation. However, as a present novice I'd want to get more experience before saying just how good it is doing. Initial trials at creating audio CDs seem to work as expected. However, I did find a third party package called Direct Show Filter Package ( DFFP Version 5.1) that was pretty easy to add to a Windows 7 system and get the needed support.

I couldn't find a way to get anything from Microsoft that could be used to add the necessary capability. In the case of my Windows 7 computer it appears as though a standard OS installation does NOT contain the necessary software. I think that refers to an API supported on Windows for accessing the codecs used to make necessary conversions of existing files that could have been created/encoded in a variety of different file formats. Following instructions in the guide provided on this forum produced an error that referred to the need to use "directshow". I've been using IMGburn for a long time but just now wanted to create an audio CD (i.e., CD that can be played on an ordinary/traditional CD player) from files in my Windows music library.
