PowerDVD codec (CLVsd.ax) as stand-alone? (1 Viewer)

[MPM]

When installing the SAF, it's according to instructions possible to use the CLVsd.ax file in order to utilize PowerDVD MPEG-2 codec.

Now, is there a way to achieve the same without installing the SAF?

In other words, I don't want to install either PowerDVD application or SAF, but would still like to use the PowerDVD MPEG-2 codec from the CLVsd.ax.

Thanks,
MPM

run "regsvr32 CLVsd.ax" on command line (cmd.exe). That should register the decoder.

I´m on vista home premium and having the trouble that some codecs dont show up in mediaportal configuration. I have installed Power dvd 7.3, arcsoft tmt and usually, after install they show up in the configurtion and I can select them as h264 codecs. But, not latelly. Will it solve my problem to run regsvr32 manually, is there any other solution to my problem?

Hm... well, latest version of PowerDVD9 will not show up in h.264. This is not a bug, but done intentionally by CyberLink. I don't think this is the case for PDVD7, though...

yes you can do this. google HD PACK 2.2
it can install standalone pdvd codecs

 

[kszabo]

yes, HD pack 2.2 works like a charm, you can even use PDVD9 h.264 codec.

Thanks tourettes!
Registering worked, but I'm getting some weird behavior... Switching to PowerDVD codec for TV activates the ActiveMovie bug, i.e. separate window is opened with the TV picture. Using EVR instead of VMR9 is not possible - there is no problem with separate window, but I get only garbage instead of picture... The weird part is that installing full PowerDVD application and then using the codec in MP works just fine.
