eidenk Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I wanted to play that WMV video but I couldn't because of missing WVC1 codec.Wikipedia says it is Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile and that it requires Windows Media Format 11 Runtime or Windows Media Player 11.Instead of trying to update files from those packages I found out that MS distributed last year a wvc1dmo.exe package, a copy of which I have been able to find here.It contains the WVC1 encoder and the decoder in separate files. The encoder does not work as it has missing functions in dependencies but the decoder works OK and allows to play the above file. It is wvc1dmod.dll and it just need to be copied somewhere and regsvr32ed.It is possible that more recent versions of wmvdmod.dll than the one I have installed (from WMP10 or 11) also allows videos using this codec to be played on 98SE/ME but I am not sure as I haven't tried that.

eidenk Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yes indeed, I have just tried that after unregistering wvc1dmod.dll and making sure Graphedit would not build a graph out of the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbalist Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 If "that WMV video" is a clip of choosing a custom color, the codec seems to work fine on my 98FE box. WVC1DMOE.DLL did not copy or register. Couldn't register it manually. WVC1DMOD.DLL copied and registered normally.Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGx Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Found out that WVC1DMOE.DLL works only under Windows XP/2003/Vista with WMP11 installed.To make this work under Windows 98/98 SP1/98 SE/ME, please follow these updated instructions:http://www.mdgx.com/wmp.htm#ENCWVC1 Codec [899 KB]:http://www-pc.uni-regensburg.de/systemsw/W...dia/wvc1dmo.exeHow to install WMV9AP VC-1 Codec on Windows 98/NT4/ME:1. Create C:\TEMP (example) from a DOS box:MD C:\TEMP2. Download wvc1dmo.exe (see above) into C:\TEMP .3. Run:C:\TEMP\wvc1dmo.exe /C /Q /T:C:\TEMP4. Copy WVC1DMOD.DLL from C:\TEMP into %windir%\SYSTEM [%windir% = usually C:\WINDOWS]:COPY/Y C:\TEMP\WVC1DMOD.DLL %windir%\SYSTEM5. Run this command from a DOS box:REGSVR32 %windir%\SYSTEM\WVC1DMOD.DLL6.
