[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 176363, member: 13176"] Discovered by accident that i could not use Vista's Movie maker to produce a DVD, could edit the movie and save as a project, but every time tried to BURN a dvd, DVD maker stopped working. Looked on the internet as you do and found that under the options there is the facility to disable various filters that movie maker has access to, FFDShow was one of these, anyway to cut a long story short the only way i could get Movie maker working properly was to uninstall FFDShow, now found my various .mp4 movies would not play. Decided to uninstall anything that may have had codecs attached ie roxio9 etc (hated it anyway, bad as nero7). Uninstalled PowerDVD7.2 Cleaned up any leftover dredges using [URL="http://paul.glagla.free.fr/filmerit_en.htm"]Filmerit[/URL] which got rid of any registry settings left by uninstalled codecs. Rebooted, reinstalled PowerDVD7.2 and updated to 7.3 and now found without anything else installed ALL my Video filetypes (Divx, Xvid, MP4) will now play fine in both WMP, MCE and more importantly in MP. Movie Maker works fine as well so i am completely HAPPY. :D So the point is, always thought FFDShow was quite a good alternative to so called Codec Packs, but it can screw things up that you may wish to use as well. Now just got to find out why my Audigy4 card is slowing Vista's Shutdown to a snails pace (3 minutes with card installed, 20 seconds without). See You Around Guy's [/QUOTE]
