delphi programatically utilize video codecs

delphi programatically utilize video codecs

is there a specific directory that codecs are put into that windows reads
automatically or is there a setting in the registry to make it avaiable?
or something else along those lines?
The only way I know of is to install them via the control panel but I dont
want the users of my software to have to do this themselves, they may not
know how to, and I dont want them to have to install things seperately of
my program.
There must be a way of manually changing the codec settings most likely in
the registry? and thereby effectively "telling" windows that theres a new
codec available, what it's called, adn where it's stored? I'm not looking
for code unless theres a function specifically designed to do this, im
looking for a way to get windows to see a new codec by altering system
settings.
