Chad Magendanz Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Practically every multimedia application installs its own DirectShow codecs and with all the 3rd-party codec packs out there it's pretty common to have corrupted registry entries for DirectShow components. The GSpot utility <http://gspot.headbands.com/> will detect problem codecs and filters (highlighted in red under List Codecs and Other Filters), but the Re-Register and Un-Register Filter contextual menu commands usually fail to repair or remove the corrupted registry entries. The K-Lite Codec Pack <http://www.codecguide.com/> includes a K-Lite Codec Tweak Tool with several registry repair options: - Detect broken codecs - Detect broken DirectShow filters - Register quartz.dll - Fix non-working system sound Since not everyone is inclined to install a codec pack just to repair their DirectShow registry settings, it seems that these functions would be a great addition to a future release of CCleaner.

Moderators Andavari Posted April 23, 2007 Moderators Share Posted April 23, 2007 You could also ask the makers of K-Lite to make the Codec Tweak Tool a separate download all by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
