| Solution | Strengths | Weaknesses | |----------|-----------|-------------| | | Full FFmpeg power, active updates, hardware decoding, easy VCL integration | Commercial license cost (approx $80-$120), external FFmpeg DLLs required | | DSPack (DirectShow) | Native Windows, no extra DLLs, good for capture devices | DirectShow is deprecated; limited codecs; no modern features like H.265 | | VideoLab | Many filters, all-inclusive | Expensive ($300+); slower updates; large runtime | | WMP ActiveX | Simple playback | No encoding; format limited by installed codecs | | Manual FFmpeg headers (e.g., ffmpeg.pas) | Free | Extremely complex; no component model; thread-safety pitfalls |
