- MPEG-4 Video codec fix for Windows 9x and NT 4
- Sep 12, 1999. By Somebody http://codeczone.da.ru/codec.htm
-
- Please note that I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any problems this fix might
- cause on your system. I have verified it on a local system and on a number
- of other users computers, but there is no way for me to be able to guarantee
- that it will work on each and every system configuration out there.
-
-
- FIX:
- Install the latest (ver 6.4) Microsoft Mediaplayer if you have not already
- done so. Note that this package have an older driver file than what is
- included in the released version of the player/Windows Media Tools. The
- reason for this is that the released driver can have problems with playing
- .avi files encoded with MPEG4. I have not found any problems playing newer
- .asf files with the old driver, but keep in mind that you run on beta software
- if problems should arise. The released version of the MPG4C32.DLL file is also
- available on my webpage.
-
- This installer will replace any existing version of the MPG4C32.DLL file in
- your system directory (system32 on WinNT, Windows 2000). The old file
- (if existing) will be renamed to MPG4C32.BKP by the inf installer.
-
-
- INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- To install the package, copy all the files to a temp dir (ie c:\temp) and
- rightclick on the file MPG4INST.INF and select INSTALL from the context menu.
-
- This will copy the needed file(s) to your system (system32 in WinNT) directory
- and update your system.ini (the registry on WinNT) with the codec/driver
- definitions.
-
- You may have to reboot to make the codec work in your mediaplayer, but it
- _should_ work without a reboot.
-
- You should now be able to play files in mpeg4 v1,2 and 3 format.
