Hi,
I have installed the x264vfw encoder on my 64-bit Windows 10 machine, and I've written a small program using DirectShow APIs to detect all the available video compressors (Based on their "FriendlyName" tag ) installed on my system. However, I've noticed that x264vfw is not being detected. Can someone please assist me with this issue?
Thank you in advance for your help.

x264vfw even says in its name that it is a VfW (Video for Windows) codec, not DirectShow.

in GraphStudioNext it is visible in Video Compressors as ACM/ICM type with category "DMO Video Encoder" and category GUID={33D9A760-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86}

make sure that your application has the same bit depth as the installed x264vfw, or install the full version (both 32-bit and 64-bit).
