Thinking of Installing a CODEC Pack - Maybe Rethink That

John T. Smith's article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1321581?tstart=0 points out an issue, that is affecting many. It's basically a Trojan, but it "encrypts" files, including media files, and then demands a ransome. One method of delivery has been via CODEC's. So far, that delivery has not been associated with any specific CODEC "pack," but those have been used, in the past, to deliver nefarious payloads.
Before one is tempted to download and install a CODEC pack, I would urge the greatest of caution, before doing so.
Even some time after the MS link in John's article was dated, it appears that current anti-virus and anti-malware programs cannot detect this payload. I have seen links to "cleaners," but the upshot seems to be (as of this moment) that the encryptation cannot be reversed - yet. One might get rid of the Trojan, but the files are still lost forever.
Just a H/U, and something to think about, before installing a CODEC pack, or free CODEC, plus all the other cautions on clicking on unknown links, e-mail attachments (even if you know and trust the sender, as their computer could have been compromised, and be a zombie, spreading horrible things), or similar. Just when you thought that it was safe to go into the water...

You can either format the external drive FAT 32 so both Leopard and XP can use the drive together. The other way is to partition the drive for leopard and a second partition for XP. That way they each have their own storage area on the drive.

Itunes and ace mega codecs pack conflict

Hey guys. I was wondering why the itunes doesnt work with the ace mega codecs pack. I read the other discussions and im not tech savvy enough to understand how to fix it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes (cuz thats all i really know). Still doesnt open... i get that error send report thing by windows. Is there an easy way to fix this? Do i need to get rid of a certain codec in the codec pack? pleaseeee help me.. i cant even utilize my iphone

hi Laurent!
Then I install the codecpack, (that works when i was using last version of itunes), and itunes new version crashes.
gaah. okay, this is
b speculation
that is partly based on the few reports i got in about the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 1.38 "breaking" working copies of itunes 5.0.x.
what i noticed with the details of that mega codec pack was that it contained all the
b QT 6.5.2
codecs. so my suspicion is that
b either
it was installing a version of QT 6.5.2 somewhere on the computer that itunes 5.0.x thought it should be using (resulting in 5.0.x crashing because it needs at least QT 7.0.2 to run),
b or
the old QT 6.5.2 codecs were desperately confusing the existing QT 7.0.2.
so, perhaps try to see if you've got a new copy of QT 6.5.2 somewhere on your machine after you've installed that Codec Pack, and uninstalling that. if you still get errors (or different errors), try downloading and saving to your hard drive a copy of the standalone QT 7.0.3 installer. (run the installation from there rather than online. switch off antivirus and antispyware prior to the install.)

keep us posted on developments.

Do I need to install a coded pack on my system - premiere cs5

1. I installed K-Lite Codec Pack Could it interfere with my system?
2. Is there a recommended version of QuickTime for win7 64bit? (I installed the standard version on apple site and since the screen flickers for a second when i open premiere, Is this normal?)
3 . Is there any special setting for optimizing performance of my quadro 4000 video card?

Sarah,
I installed K-Lite Codec Pack Could it interfere with my system? [Block Quotes do not seem to be working today.]
Yes, it certainly can.
I recommend against installing aiy CODEC pack. One of the modules installed by K-Lite is FFDShow, and it has caused all sorts of problems with Premiere.
Which CODEC(s) do you need specifically?
I would get those, and install ONLY those. I also recommend going to the source, where possible, rather than a "free" version of the same CODEC. Now, there ARE some great CODEC's, that are free, like Lagarith Lossless and UT, but for a lot of the CODEC's, the commercial versions will be a better choice.
Good luck,
Hunt

ITunes crashes on start up since installed Ace Media CodecS pack

First post and if truth to be told iv never had to use the support forums at Apple before because everything normally goes swimmingly well. But now im in dire need of assistance
Basically, I did one of the most silliest things I could have done and in an effort to get Audio to play on a .avi file I downloaded 'Ace MegaCodecS'
Looking in the installation file I just selected everything and whilst some programs failed to work - a quick uninstall of it seemed to do the trick.
But itunes has posed a problem somewhat.
Initially I couldnt install it or uninstall it. I even had the same 'fatal error' on Quicktime. But after using Windows Install Clean Up I managed to install Quicktime first and then iTunes.
But still the problem persists... I try and load up itunes and it comes back with an error and if I try and load of Quicktime? It comes back with a 'Buffer Overrun detected'
This is the error message for iTunes:
*Faulting application itunes.exe, version 7.3.2.6, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000a0164.*
*For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.*
In addition to the above I have also used a registry cleaner to clear out any rogue items and iv also uninstalled some codecs which didnt disappear when I uninstalled the Ace Media CodecS Pack.
I love using iTunes, I keep all my music on there and because of doing this, I believe I have lost my statistical data but thats neither here nor there...I would love to get it back without having to format my hard drive from scratch.
If anyone could take the time to help me I would be ever so grateful

Trouble exporting any mov files into H264 after adding K-Lite codec pack into Windows XP SP3.

I have QuickTime 7.7 (1680.34) installed. I have used it extensively and exported the video separate from the audio and extracted and used filters and it has all worked great with all of the other codecs I have had installed. It even worked great after I recently installed this K-Lite codec pack that actually saved files in a *.hdmov file type and I was able to view them with the Media Player Classic .... (I have Windows XP update 3) and see what I could do over there and then go back to saving them as *.mov file types and work in QuickTime Pro. And still export them relatively fast to their latest H264 format.
I gave more file types to the Media Player Classic. I think along the line of the just the *.3g2 and *.mp4 and took them away from QuickTime but still keeping the *.mov, *.qt and *.mqv file types .... and that is when I think everything must have changed. all of a sudden I can not save any *.hdmov files and the export process in QuickTime takes longer than forever.
I thought that I had reconfigured Media Player Classic back to its default ....
and it should all go back to being how it was.
Is there some Direct Show filter or codec that upsets QuickTime Pro ... that I might have not reset back to what it was?
Any codec help would be much appreciated.
This is what the K-Lite site says in one instance about H264:
If the video that you are playing contains H.264 video, then you could try using another decoder. The codec pack by default uses ffdshow for decoding H.264 video. This is a free and open-source decoder. Other decoders exist that have better performance as ffdshow. They should give you smoother playback, specially if you have a dual-core or quad-core processor.
Alternative H.264 decoders are:
CoreAVC. This decoder is unfortunately not available for free.
DivX H.264 decoder. This decoder is available for free as part of the DivX Bundle. Tip: disable everything in the bundle except the H.264 decoder.
ffmpeg-mt. This is an experimental multi-threaded version of the libavcodec decoding library, which is used by ffdshow. You can select ffmpeg-mt as decoder in ffdshow video decoder configuration.
MPC DXVA H.264 decoder. This is an internal decoder of Media Player Classic Homecinema. It uses your graphics card to perform most of the decoding process, resulting is a very low CPU usage. You can enable this decoder though: MPC Options -> Internal Filters. Note: this decoder has some specific requirements.
I downloaded the DivX bundle and will pull out that codec. I bought the CoreAVC for $13 but Norton said it was a risky file when I downloaded it ... (I have a question into the site about that) and I will try the ffmpeg-mt codec as well as see what they say about the last one. I will also try to undo everything I did that happened I guess before QuickTime started to export so slow that it is not even worth it to try and convert a mov file into H264.
Sorry so long ... I just was trying to lay out the things I have attempted, will attempt to try and improve the situation.
Thanks again very much if anyone makes it thru this ... geez .. sorry.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

Problem with Acrobat 8.12 keeps trying to install Japanese Font Pack

I have a client who received a pdf file and when she opened it she was told that it needed the Japanese Font Pack. I gave her admin rights but it still keeps doing it. My pc with the same setup works perfectly fine with the offending file. Now everytime she opens any PDF it tries to open the offending file first and load the font pack. I was able to go into the registry and remove the keys that mention the file and Acrobat works fine as long as we do not try and open that file again. We have installed the font pack separately. The offending file opens fine in Reader. Any idea why this would keep happening and if there is a solution to stop it from happening. Thank you.

Actually, since I started getting the security warning, I haven't tried it on another machine. You think this information might be only stored on my machine? It's worth trying... Thanks!

BT2010 Installed Cum Update Packs for Adapters and getting run-time errors with WCF-SQL

The process has been working fine for months. Then we installed Cum Update packs to BT2010 (I'll get the exact C.U.'s from our admin guy) and last night got probably 20 errors similar to below.
   - Installed CU6 for BT2010
   - Installed CU3 for LOB (Adapters)
The SQL stored proc returns a mix of strings, integers, Guids, and dates; the BizTalk schema looks like matches perfectly. The stored proc runs fine in SSMS.
Got two errors for each, 1 in XLANG/s for the orchestration, and 1 for the Send port that calls the WCF-SQL adapter from the orchestration, and also 1 warning.
NOTE: This orchestration runs every 15 minutes 24x7. It calls the Stored Proc to find out which extracts it needs to create. Most all the extracts run at night. So if I run the stored proc during the day, it normally returns an empty result
set. Yet, the error below is happening every 15 minutes, even when the result set is empty. How can it generate a data conversion error when there is no data to be converted?

Avi codec pack for mac??

Hi,
We have recently switched over a few mac machines and are slowly getting the hang of them. After having issues playing back avi's on the machine i have downloaded the Perian codec pack for mac which allows me to play the files in quicktime etc and get audio output. I still have the problem however that when imported into Premiere/Encore etc i get video but no audio??? I dont want to have to convert all the files into compatible mac files as i just want a codec to install which will play them and solve the problem. The files are DivX codec built.
I find it odd that files will play with audio in quicktime on the machine but not in the adobe software. Tried reading around this on the web but have turned up nothing after Perian that helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks Hunt,
You seem to reply to most of these posts, so thank you very much for giving up your time to help others, much appreciated.
I have both converted the files - in a rather drawn out way through a couple of freeware programs to give me an mp3 audio file macs don't seem to mind - and and burnt DVD's on mac and PC to check for quality on both machines.
We have to work with DivX a bit for clients to create conference openers etc and if they specify footage from the web etc its generally the only format we can get it in on short notice. Horrible but the way of the world it seems.
Currently running mac book pro's for on site edit machines on the highest specs available for purchase i.e. i7 processor 7200rpm internal hard drive etc and Adobe CS5 and have to say that the 'macs never fall over' hype isn't true. Apart from having their file preferences for use which is a pain when crossing projects over from both platforms i have found both new macs crash when worked hard using premiere, after effects and photoshop/illustrator. We find CS5 has far fewer bugs and is more stable than CS4 mind you.
I'm sure that may queue mac lovers to put me straight on the much fabled shiny machines however.
Cheers, Ian

After installing divX codec, QT won't play divX .avis

Environment:
Windows XP pro
QT pro 7.1.3
DivX 6.5
I hate windows media player, and always play my media in QT if I can. When I tried to play some avis in QT that were encoded with DivX, the QT dialog box came up and directed me to the apple site which had the divx link. It stated there that the codec will work for QT, on both mac and windows. However, after I download and install the codec, the only thing I see in my player is a black screen with no audio. (And I think that before I installed the codec, I at least got the audio.) But now I get nothing.
Anyone have any ideas?

How does one install SGD security pack?

Need to install a SSL cert, can't seem to figure out how to install the Security Pack.
The version i'm running is 4.5; Build: 20091119205307 on RedHat
In the manual it states to run this command:
# /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella security certrequest
But every time i run that, it just errors and states "missing component". So, i must be missing something.
Do I need to download the Security Pack? If so, from where?
Thanks in Advanced,
david

I think i figured it out. I had to first add tarantella to the path:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/tarantella/bin; export PATH

K-lite mega codec pack/quicktime codecs to play other files

I want to be able to use quicktime for all video files on my new ibook 14'' so i tried downloading the k-lite maga codec pack but i think its only for windows because every site i tried to download it from opened it in a .exe file. basically i was wondering if there was a site to find a version of k-lite to download that works with os x tiger or if there was another codec download that would enable me to play other media files on quicktime (wmv,mpeg-4). i already downloaded the divx codecs to play .avi files but i really want to be able to play those other files

Flip4Mac can play wmv file in Quicktime. It doesn't handle Real Media though.

Codec pack for Mac?

Hello,
My mom just got a brand new Imac. She lives about 300 miles from me, so my help to her is limited. I was there when she ordered it and to help her set it up. But now I'm home again.
I downloaded and installed codecs from Apple's Quicktime site. That fixed a few things.
I've been exposed to PCs for quite some time and have found it much easier to dload a codec pack that includes everything a typical user would ever require for playback of video in Media Player. I haven't seen anything like that for Mac. Do they exist? Where could I find them?
Thank you

Codec pack for QuickTime like Windows?

Hello,
I'm wondering why there is no any codec pack for QuickTime in Mountain Lion like windows? or why Apple just can't support .mkv files?
QuickTime really has a great quality than other players and I hope Apple or some developer make something good like windows Codec pack.. they have got always codec pack for windows but for mac never or so hard to find.
I hope apple consider this..!!!
Developer please make something like that and sure all will buy it from appstore you guys would be rich.. come on.. if it would cost 1$ you would be rich but you can make it more like 5 to 10 or more $
Best regards,
Alex

Apple's position is that H.264 is a modern highly efficient codec that is suitable for all uses (which is true enough). However a lot of files already exist in other formats. Sometimes it seems some people wilfully choose the most esoteric codec possible just to make life difficult.
The nearest you can get to a codec pack on the Mac is Perian. This adds support to QuickTime for many formats including MKV files.
You can get Perian here http://perian.org/
It might also be worth installing Flip4Mac which adds support for playing WMV files, you can get it here http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/overview.htm

Microsoft Camera Codec Pack for Windows 10?

Is there a version of Microsoft Camera Codec Pack that works in Windows 10 technical preview? I'm having problems installing the latest for Windows 8.1, more accurately it won't install whatever I do, regardless of compatibility mode.

I may have expressed myself badly. I did not had problems with this in Windows 8 and 8.1.
I am only having problems installing the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack in Windows 10 (to be more specific, Enterprise Edition, build 9926).
My best guess is the changed system numbering is behind the problem, which you pointed out right.

Thinking of Installing a CODEC Pack - Maybe Rethink That
