[marcorocchini]

Hi and however ...

but

how to understand if adobe premiere calls a windows codec when import a video file?

or when it use an internal decompressor?!?

[Cornucopia]

You could always alternately (temp) hide the win codecs, or the adobe codecs, and see which loss breaks the importing.

But, WHY do you need to know?

Cause his cat needs to know which codec is hiding him.

[DB83]

Any cat should know to leave the codec to the mouse.

if a NLE use an external codec at the least it should always say so because the use of an external codec always exposes to risks

[Cornucopia]

Oh, good grief! You are the operator of your computer, correct? So you should already be aware of what you have put on there.

And, btw, there have been NO cases of major codecs being hacked and/or containing malware. If you are choosing to put your own rare, odd, specialty codecs, that is on you.
The fear of that is almost as irrational as worrying about malware in media files (which shows a complete lack of understanding of how these systems work).
There are plenty of real world things to be rationally concerned about, without creating fictional things.

You can use Graphstudio to confirm the Dshow codecs in use.

If it's LAV filters (as is normally recommended) you can configure the decoder to put an icon in the tray when it's in use ....

What kind of broken grammar is this?

[Cornucopia]

Not sure (re: grammar). I don't think it can all be down to not being a native English speaker. Cat -ese?
