Can MS DMO Video Decoder cause problems? (1 Viewer)

[Peter2]

Hi guys, can this codec cause problems with MP?

I have an issue - details in this thread https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/image-sound-drift-off-98106/ - and found that file on the system.

TIA!
Peter

MS DMO Video Decoder is software based, so yes it could cause A/V sync to drift or dropped frames when compated to other decoders on same HW (when CPU is not powerful enough to decode).

Hi tourettes, thank you for looking into this.

I saw that it is present from the start menu; it has a 'Video Decoder ON' shortcut but I didn't find any way to uninstall it.
The dll file is still present, do you have any idea how to see if it's active?
In the control panel sound->hardware tab, I didn't find anything either.
