Mediaplayer classic complains about mpeg splitter

[cheyrn]

I used ffmpeg like so:

ffmpeg -i some.avi -vcodec libx264 some.mp4

The mp4 plays in windows media player and vlc. If I use mediaplayer classic a window pops up saying that my license for AVObjects MPEG-4 splitter has expired. I don't recall ever installing their trial software.

Mediainfo shows codec id avc1. The trial software from avobjects is called avc1.

What is mediaplayer classic doing that the others aren't? If I should try to find and remove the mpeg splitter, how do I find it? I haven't found a directory with avobjects in the name. If the splitter is considered a codec, I used "installed codecs" and see nothing that looks like it's called avc1.

Get Autoruns from Windows Sysinternals (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902)
Go to Codecs Tab, find that AVObjects thing (look at publisher, path column etc), untick or right click / Delete.
Reboot.

Some codec pack or all-in-one installed it. I've never even heard of it, bizarre, but if you can't uninstall it from the Programs in Control Panel, the Autoruns will work. MPC is the only one showing the problem because VLC only uses built-in codecs and WMP doesn't use DirectShow, like most other media players.

Thanks. It was installed by the free version of ivsEdits.
