Applies to: Windows Phone 8 | Windows Phone OS 7.1

Windows Phone provides support for various audio and video codecs depending on the processor installed in the device.

Important Note:

Windows Phone Emulator performance may differ from actual hardware codec performance. Always test your app on a physical Windows Phone device to check its performance.

The following sections contain detailed information about the codecs you can use with the various processors used in Windows Phone devices.

This topic contains the following sections.

Important Note:

 The 7x27a processor allows audio input on only one stereo bus at a time. This means that applications cannot concurrently capture more than one audio source on 7x27a devices. If your application uses the AudioSink class with the FileSink class on a 7x27a device, the AudioSink class will not get audio samples, and the AudioCaptureDevice object will be set to null. The FileSink class works fine on the 7x27a processor. The FileSink class and the AudioSink class work correctly if used independent of one another.

Note:

 The 7x27a processor does not allow accessing the FM radio and microphone simultaneously.

If you want to use a video codec that works on all Windows Phone devices, use H.264-encoded video in MP4 files. Because the 7x27a processor defines the baseline, make sure your files do not exceed the parameters listed in the table for H.264 video on a 7x27a processor.

In addition, the IsMultiResolutionVideoSupported property indicates whether the processor supports HD video. Check this property at runtime if you want to scale the video based on the processor in the Windows Phone.

Important Note:

Smooth Streaming Media Element (SSME) allows for dynamic resolution changes. This option is only supported on 8x55 based devices. The 8x50 and 7x27a processors do not support this feature. Only a single bit rate and resolution can be used for playing back video content on those devices by using smooth streaming.
