Hi Guys,
(I was having problems converting MPEG/DivX/XviD/3ivX/Xiv3 files to WMV9 using Windows Media Encoder 9. It crashes as soon as the *ivX file is imported.
Later I found out that it was a common problem to those who had Windows XP installed. They were adviced to "use windvd+regfix or Elecard as a workaround" -- this was how it was exactly mentioned in microsoft.public.windowsmedia.encoder news groups.
Until then, I had
PowerDVD 5.0 installed. To watch all the *ivX files, I also had
K-Lite Codec Pack installed. Installing
WinDVD 5.0 didn't help me converting MPEG to WMV9 till I uninstalled K-Lite Codec Pack.
Mean while I tried the
3ivX D4 4.5 Filter to convert MP4 to WMV9. Since I was missing K-Lite Codec Pack's all codecs, I installed
XviD MPEP4 Video Codec.
Those were all I tried before I faced the problem.)
On my next DVD conversion, I suddenly used to get very bad quality for WMV9 encoded files. The frames were so much pixelated and I was sure there was something unusual happening to the encoded contents. Files I encoded now at 1500 Kbps couldn't be compared to the quality I had from a 526 Kbps I encoded before. The quality was that much worse!
I was adviced to try the
Windows Media Tools 4.1. The idea was to restore all the direct show filters. But that didn't work either.
Since nothing worked to me, I uninstalled everything mentioned above, and now I only have Windows Media Encoder 9 installed.
- Just now I realised I cannot play a WMV9 file fullscreen.
- I could watch DivX/XviD files even though no such decoder was installed, I mean I uninstalled -- but it is still there!
- I could not watch DivX files fullscreen too.
- However, XviD files played fullscreen.
I don't know which program did the damage to me. I still cannot encode DVDs to WMV9 with the quality I was used to. On top of that, I cannot watch any movie except for XviD, fullscreen.
My questions, do any of you guys know how to uninstall/unregister these DirectShow filters?
That would be great.
Thank you so much for listening me,
Yours,
McoreD
