willpantin Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Based on some great information from this forum, I had been installing codecs for WMP9 in my Unattended installs. This involves copying codec files to the System32 folder, and adding registry entries...I have now included this same procedure in my WMP10 Unattended CDs. However, lately I have been reading some confusing comments regarding WMP10, whereby some claim it already comes with all the necessary codecs... Is this really the case?These are the codecs in question:* DivX Pro [version 5.1.1][Decoding]* DivX Pro [version 5.1.1] [Encoding]* XviD 1.0.0.0 RC2 [2004-02-07] [Decoding]* XviD 1.0.0.0 RC2 [2004-02-07] [Encoding]* Windows Media 7 [version 7.1.0.3055]* Windows Media 8 [version 8.0.0.371]* Windows Media 9 VCM [version 9.0.1.369]* Cyberlink DVD decoder [version 5.0.0.1031]* Elecard MPEG-2 decoder [version 2.0.0.2525]* Ligos Indeo XP [version 5.2820.15.58]* Intel Indeo [version 4.51.16.2]* Intel Indeo [version 3.24.15.03]* Intel I.263 [version 2.55.1.16]* MS MPEG-4 [version 4.1.0.3927] [Encoding]* On2 VP3 [version 3.2.5.0]* On2 VP6 [version 6.1.0.2] [Decoding]* On2 VP6 [version 6.1.0.2] [Encoding]* Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 DirectShow decoder [version 1.9.0.311]* LAME MP3 ACM Codec [version 3.95.1]* WMA DirectShow decoder [version 8.0.0.4487]* AC3 DirectShow decoder [version 0.70b mod]* Ogg Vorbis DirectShow decoder (CoreVorbis) [version 1.0b5]* Ogg Vorbis DirectShow filters [version 0.9.9.5]* Matrix Mixer [version 0.30b]* GSpot Codec Information Appliance [version 2.21 build 030711]Here's the Registry entries:Registry Codec FileSo, codecs, or no codecs? Or perhaps new codecs?

willpantin Posted September 12, 2004 Author Posted September 12, 2004 swgreed,Hey, so that was your old post that helped me out...! Just a question, regarding what you just said:Now it doesDid you mean that now WMP10 already comes with all the codecs, or did you mean that with your updated codecs post, on that link, we now have the right codecs to add to our unattended install?
McoreD Posted September 12, 2004 Posted September 12, 2004 Trust me, if you are not into DVD Ripping you can safely remove the following: * Windows Media 7 [version 7.1.0.3055]* Windows Media 8 [version 8.0.0.371]* Windows Media 9 VCM [version 9.0.1.369]* MS MPEG-4 [version 4.1.0.3927] [Encoding]WMP10 can play WMV7, WMV8 and WMV9 and also WMVA (WMV9 Advanced Profile). Nowadays, you don't need to use the old MS MPEG-4, you use the new WMV9 instead. If you are into *ivX ripping, having the following is fine: * DivX Pro [version 5.1.1] [Decoding]* DivX Pro [version 5.1.1] [Encoding]* XviD 1.0.0.0 RC2 [2004-02-07] [Decoding]* XviD 1.0.0.0 RC2 [2004-02-07] [Encoding]Otherwise, I only have 3ivxDSDecoder.ax registered and 3ivx.dll copied to System32 directory.
