look in the Windows Multimedia programmers reference, for the  acmXXXXX
api.....
ACM stands for Adaptive Compression Manager. If memory serves me
correctly..the function you're looking for is called

acmFilterEnum()..

You'll have to write a callback function that the system can callback to
pass information about each file format filter it finds installed. There's
also:

acmDriverEnum()

which actually enumerates the drivers themselves, but I think you're looking
for the functionality of the first one.

Enjoy
