I have unzipped the panasonic dll file pdvcodec.dll

I copied it the windows/system directory.

I use the following command on the run line:

regsrv32 pdvcodec.dll

error: pdvcodec was loaded but the DllRegistryServer entry point was not found.

what do i need to do?

Change the following registry settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
"pdvcodec.dll"="Panasonic DV Codec"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"vidc.dvsd"="pdvcodec.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\vidc.dvsd]
"Driver"="pdvcodec.dll"
"Description"="Panasonic DV Codec"


You can use the following .REG file instead:

You're welcome. I guess I should add this to the F.A.Q.
