Is there some sort of codec manager?

[Macolio]

The solution to playback issues is almost always "install this or that, reinstall this or that". I just had trouble playing an XviD Family Guy episode (some sort of green screen, though audio is fine), so I decided to completely remove all codecs from my computer. I uninstalled XviD, as well as fddshow, and K-Lite Codec Pack from Control Panel.

However, when I ran Gspot, it said I still have 2 codecs installed: XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder, and 3ivx D4 Video Decoder. I have no idea how I would go about uninstalling those codecs. Is it as simple as deleting the files, or would that mess up the registry and/or the players?

I was wondering if there was some tool that allowed me to decide, in cases where I have multiple codecs all capable of decoding a file, which one Media Player Classic would use. For example, switching from XviD codec to fddshow to some hacked codec or whatever, without the hassle of installing/reinstalling to give a certain codec "priority" over the others.

Any tips?

Wow. Quick, concise, and to the point. Thank you very much.

When I first clicked this topic and saw that your post contained images, I was expecting to see some sort of "GO AWAY NEWBIE" image. So glad I was wrong

Don't you just hate that. I've left several places just because of that
sort of attitude.
