VFW b0rked :/

[Dallemon]

today all my vfw codecs got b0rked due to my carelessness :D

i accidentaly deleted "CLSID_LegacyAmFilterCategory" (i think) (was removing codecs and reinstalling some new ones)
coz all the codecs are present in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32"

yet gspot idenfies all vfw as not registered

plz help :)

any suggestions would be appreciated since i dont like only being able to play files (with audio) in wmp10 -_-

1. why are you trying to uninstall codecs via the registry ?
2. if you mess with the registry why dont you make a back-up? (im serious with this! dont say you know, coz you didnt :p )
3. while i have no idea if it will help, try reinstalling directx...


goodluck! :)

have already triedreinstalling dx, it just says its already installed :(
andi was removing it from the registrycoz it was being bitchy about divx not being there when it thought it should ;)

real men dont take backups, they cry :)

coz all the codecs are present in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

I think that for each codec there should be an entry too in HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\

At least for huffyuf, the following entries are made:

HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\VIDC.HFYU,Description,,"Huffyuv lossless codec [HFYU]"
HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\VIDC.HFYU,Driver,,"huffyuv.dll"
HKLM,SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\VIDC.HFYU,FriendlyName,,"Huffyuv lossless codec [HFYU]"

HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc",huffyuv.dll,,"Huffyuv lossless codec [HFYU]"
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32",VIDC.HFYU,,"huffyuv.dll"
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32",VIDC.YV12,,"huffyuv.dll"

Using the info in the one it should be possible to reconstruct the other.

couldnt find "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\" but i have found a temporary solution, using mpc instead of zp ^^

couldnt find "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaResources\icm\ Welll, perhaps that is your problem then. :)
