Update codecs on network for Media Player / Movie Maker

[Arthur]

That's correct. Everything except for the Cyberlink and Real codecs.

However, if you are using the original installers, that still means there is at least one copy of the illegal codecs stored on your network even though they have been excluded from being installed on desktops/laptops.

A slight tangent.

FFDShow has blacklist/whitelist functionality and if an app isn't in either you get some "do you want to.. ?" prompt. I've only ever seen (the target of an MS Remote Assistance session pop that up and would rather it didn't do that. Has anyone been there and sorted this in a prior to deployment package - perhaps by setting it to only use whitelisted apps?

[Arthur]

The registry setting below will disable the "Show dialog when an unknown applications tries to load ffdshow" option which should stop the prompt from appearing.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\ffdshow]
"isCompMgr"=dword:00000000

You can also completely disable the use of the blacklist and/or whitelists by changing these two settings, but this isn't recommended. The default is to leave both enabled (i.e. 00000001).

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\ffdshow]
"isWhitelist"=dword:00000000
"isBlacklist"=dword:00000000

Edit. I forgot to mention that you need to use ffdshow-tryouts rev. 3334 (or newer) for the first setting to work.

I like CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack), Which doesn't appear to include the plugins that cause [legal] issues like KLite does. Combined Community Codec Pack Wiki
