windows media + DVD

[evlo]

Hello,

i was stupid and messed up with win 7 x64 dvd codecs, now i can't play DVDs in x64 wmp/wmc. Is there some way to get this functionality back? What files do i need to reregister? It works in wmp12 32bit.

Thank you

i tried this:

"%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "%windir%\SysWOW64\msmpeg2adec.dll"
"%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "%windir%\SysWOW64\msmpeg2vdec.dll"
"%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "%windir%\SysWOW64\mpg2splt.ax"
"%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "%windir%\SysWOW64\Mpeg2Data.ax"
"%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "%windir%\SysWOW64\qdvd.dll"
"%windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe" "%windir%\SysWOW64\quartz.dll"

without success

in x64 mpc-hc with disabled internal filters it playes
graphstudio x64 can't make graph, 32bit graphstudio renders graph

i think something like wmf dvd splitter is missing.

wmp x64 loads DVD titles but can't play dvd ...

Also i don't want to reinstall whole OS.

As silly as it seems - doing the above you've actually re-registered all 32 bit filters; the "WoW64" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64) actually stands for "(32 bit) Windows on Windows 64", i.e. good old 32 bit code running on a 64 bit Windows.

The 64 bit filters you're probably looking for actually can be found in c:\Windows\System32 [sic!].

Thank you, but it still don't work, even when i replaced syswow64 for system32.

Do you have the capability to perform a "System Restore" back to the last time things were working properly?

[evlo]

Unfortunately not, so i guess my only option is to perfrom full reinstall? :(

Windows 7 has an option to remove WMP/MC. Try removing them and re-adding them. That may fix it.

^-- Likely should not work, as that would require the DVD codecs to be a child of the WMP/MC components, which I don't believe is the case.

@op: How *exactly* did you "mess" with them?

Generally regsvr32 should not work on system components since the registry keys that the RGS sections would be adding would be rights-protected. Assuming you actually hacked the permissions on the registry keys, you reach the follow-on problem that the RGS / registration sections are NOT how the DLLs are registered, so those sections (regsvr32 generated) probably won't do what you want them to do.
