As customers once had to download and install Quicktime for Windows to
use a wide variety of media in Revolution/Livecode Standalones under
Windows (XP, 7, 8.x, 10, 11), when QT for Win became obsolete, we just
switched to directing customers to download and install LAV Filters
instead. They do

There ARE methods to compress and store a 3rd party library or
application as a property in a Livecode standalone and have the
standalone on start up check (if there is a file ... or if there is a
folder ...) for the app's presence and if not present, install it by
uncompressing and writing it
OK thanks.
Many of our users are college undergrads, some of which appear to have never
installed an application on their own computer. Now I have to get them to do a
second installation as well.
By any chance, can I get my LC application to initiate the LAV filters install?

Windows 11 will have the issue. Livecode on Windows 10 or 11 uses
DirectShow. Try the LAV Filters to get the formats you want. .mp4 is
fine, I am not sure about .mp5 support. See the LAV Filters read me and
documentation.

Thanks, Paul.
So, Windows 11 shouldn’t have this issue?

Livecode on Windows (9.x.x and 10.x.x) still uses DirectShow for the
video (vs the Microsoft Media Foundation (MMF), the current standard.
DirectShow was always limited in the number of codec for various audio
and video formats it supported natively. I stringly recommend for macOS
Windows parit
