question about premier pro 1.5

[JanG]

Hello, I had elecard player (a trial), which I frequently uninstall because sometimes it puts a little logo in the corner of my movie projects (other times it doesn't, it tends to happen more with video file that has previously been encoded, even by premier itself).

I don't want to buy elecard so the logo goes away.

But whenever I uninstall it, I can't do a thing in premiere, it says media not found or something in several languages on the playback screen.

What can I use besides elecard player. I don't want to pay money for something just so I can use my video files...

Check for other codecs here and elsewhere -- there are free versions.

Have you tried re-installing Premiere?

yes i've tried re-installing premier. The fact remains, I don't have an mpeg II decoder! Maybe those usually come with video cards, because I have no video card and don't want one!
