Silverlight Supported Codecs

Question

Here is a list of codecs that are supported by Silverlight MediaElement control.

Question: Do I need to install these codecs on the client machine Or They are natively supported by Silverlight?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Silverlight is self-contained and native support for all those formats is within Silverlight itself.

You do not need to install additional Codecs.

You will have noted that not all Codecs are support on all platforms (WP7 has new ones etc), but that is down to the plugin.
