LC 10 is supposed to move from DirectShow to Windows Media Framework, 
but I have no idea what d.p. version will make that change (or if it 
will really occur).

DirectShow has limited media file format support. Microsoft (I think) 
saw additional formats as a "third party opportunity". LAVFilters add 
almost all the formats you find with Quicktime or Apple Video Foundation 
(AVF) for DirectShow and the newer Windows Media Framework comes with 
support for most popular formats. So, until a hopeful LC10 release, you 
need to also install LAVFilters to get any sort of parity in support 
media file formats between macOS and Windows in Livecode.
