[QUOTE="diehard2, post: 93865, member: 19989"] I agree to an extent, but I purposely didn't install them, and don't have MP configured to use them. If someone did configure MP to use them, then they could just be overwritten (and still registered). I guess my point is that the installer doesn't have to register them, just overwrite them. Then I wouldn't have to unregister them everytime my MPEGs have a green tint to them :D. This is more of a directshow problem than an MP problem in that MPV/MPA registers itself with a higher priority than other decoders. Or at least with the same priority, in which case Windows will use the most recently installed. Its not the end of the world, since I know how to get rid of them, but potentially hosing directshow playback on tester's machines outside of MP (who may not always be as savvy as one would like) is not a particularly good practice. Anyway, thanks for the response! [/QUOTE]
