    As for the basics.. dunno.. depends what you want to develop. How to use google to find information would probably be a good start ;)

    For info.. VC-1 is currently only (or so it seems) implemented in the wmv9 specification, codec download triggered automatically by WMP 10 on vista.. and there my interest ends........

    hai varnull,

    Thanks for your reply. Your mail was helpful.
    I searched in google for the documents, forumns, and helpful articles. I gone through the available documents for vc-1 decoder. But still i have no idea from where do i starts. I already downloaded ffmpeg source code. But i don't know how to use that one. Please reply me if my mail is not clear.

    Thanks,
    Renjith

    To be honest I'm stuck with this.. Looks to me like M$ are trying to force another proprietary version of a standard.
    What are you trying to do.. build an encoder or something?

    The ISO documents for the VC-1 video standard would probably be the best place to start, but as it currently seems to be M$ only I'm leaving it to the open source people to come up with something instead of worrying about it..

    Now ffmpeg.. http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg-doc.html

    There are various patches available as well.. some which do quite extreme things.
