QuoteThis introduces a new alternative FFmpeg-based implementation for the MF byte stream handlers, while keeping the current GStreamer-based as default.
The new implementation can be enabled by setting the DWORD value:
DisableGstByteStreamHandler = 1
in the HKCU\Software\Wine\MediaFoundation registry key.
