Nero Video Decoder (NeVideo.ax) & DVD Conflict!

[Musafir_86]

Hi pals,

-It seems that Nero Video Decoder (NeVideo.ax) has cause conflict with DVD Playback (DirectShow) filters. Whenever I tried to play DVD in WMPlayer, I keep getting error & then I have to push "Close" button. This started to happen when I installed Nero 6 OEM (bundled with CDRW drive) & I have updated it to latest version from Nero website. :(

-I'm able to resolve this error by unregistering (REGSVR32 /U) or renaming/moving this file (NeVideo.ax). Any other way to correct this without using previously mentioned actions? :confused:

-Installed codecs : (1)ffdshow-20050619 (2)XviD 1.1 beta-2 (3)Fraunhofer DVD Codec (from Net).

Regards,

P/S : Also it seems that NeVideo.ax can decode almost everything MPEG (like ffdshow) including DivX3, provided that you have proper license (Full/Ultra, not OEM). I wonder does this violate any patents (for DivX3/MSMPEG4v3 decoding) or do they pay royalties to M$? :sly:

It seems that you have no proper license installed for <NeVideo.ax> to decode MPEG-2 (DVD), buy the license! Or try to enabled the MPEG-2 decode in your ffdshow!

WARNING! Be aware of the <Fraunhofer DVD Codec>, it will installed search-Assistant along!

@Keng!

-I DO have the license, but just OEM only (as it came bundled with my CD Recorder). However, the full/Ultra license is needed if you want to use extra features such as Nero (full - not Express variation that available with OEM license), Nero ShowTime, Nero Recode, etc. & also the capabilities to decode various Audio/Video formats (much like the free ffdshow). ;)

-Also, for the "Fraunhofer DVD Codec" I only download & extract the required file (DVDAudio.ax & DVDVideo.ax) and register them manually; not using any installer/setup app, so no spyware invasion here! :D
