424987 2006-01-28 21:33:00 I'm having some problems with my videos, so I'm gonna get rid of codecs that I don't need. I accidentally downloaded a messed up codec and I thought I got rid of it, but it messed up my videos perminently. I've been working on a movie in Windows Movie Maker but now that's on halt because of this problem.

Here's the codecs listed in my video codecs properties.

Cinepak Codec by Radius Inc.
DivX 6.1 Codec
iyuv_32.dll
Microsoft RLE Codec
Microsoft Video 1
msh261.drv
msh263.drv
msyuv.dll
tsbyuv.dll

Which ones can I get rid of to see if that fixes my problem?

424988 2006-01-28 23:00:00 Can someone help me? I'm almost done with my video, but this problem has made it stop completely until I get it fixed. All I need to know is which of those codecs are bad, or which ones can I get rid of. I don't want to get rid of one I need.
Thanks.

424989 2006-01-28 23:17:00 to many codecs usually winds up breaking something.

personally i just use vlc player, it has its own codecs / filters in it and plays almost everything ive tried it with.

424990 2006-01-28 23:27:00 I still have the problem of the videos not working correctly on Windows Movie Maker. Getting a new player wouldn't fix that. Haiyaaa (9708)

424993 2006-01-29 06:17:00 What codec did you install? And what options if any did you set when you installed the codec? bob_doe_nz (92)
424994 2006-01-29 09:45:00 It shouldn't really matter how many codec's you have installed, movie maker well pick the right one. If you haven't got the right one it should till you and ask you to install it. So I don't think having to many codecs is your problem.

424995 2006-01-29 09:53:00 too many codecs is not really a problem, haveing buggy ones installed is. a lot of codec packs have quite a few buggy codecs which are known to cause problems. tweak'e (69)
424996 2006-01-29 19:12:00 I don't know of any options I set for the codec I downloaded. Someone posted it and said it would make the video he posted work for me, but it didn't, and it made some of my other videos worse, so I uninstalled it. After I uninstalled it, I didn't have any other problems with my videos until I started working with my Windows Movie Maker again. That was all buggy afterwards and I don't know what to do.
Also, some of my videos are upside down when I try to view them. Something's going wrong in my computer and I don't know what.
