I've no idea, but the K-Lite codec pack simply adds extra codecs to Windows so it shouldn't interfere with any applications.

Having said that, the K-Lite pack also includes a media player (I forget the name) and so you'll either need to untick the installation of that player or if you don't do that, ensure that the installation doesn't change any file associations, making that player the default for certain file types. if you don't watch out for thst, you might find that your movie files open by default in that media player in that application rather than in MoviePlus.

Whether or not MoviePlus of any flavour will be able to use the extra codecs that K-Lite installs is a different question. I have no experience of any version of MoviePlus.

Hi Alfred, Thank you for your answer. It appears it is the actual file that will not play after it has been edited. Other files play on the AUDIO tracks! I wonder if this has something to do with Windows 11? The editing software I use is NCH, but never had any problems with it before. It certainly is a mystery. Sorry for stretching your imagination with this, as it may well be something other than MP6. I am baffled at this moment.

Attachment update.

Hi Alfred, Sorry to bother you with the problem I had. I had to alter my recording and send it to Documents before attaching it to my recording for a third time, and it has worked. Therefore, it had nothing to do with MP6, but could be Windows 11, which I have recently bought.

However, thank you for your kind answers to my questions. BEST WISHES JIM

Can you ’Post reply’ and attach a screenshot?

Hi Alfred, No, everything looks normal, and I have been working on this problem for a while, but still no answer. While muting the second track, it became stuck in mute, although not muted- it showed as live but was still muted? I went into PROPERTIES, and it seemed alright to me. However, on the image for PROPERTIES, there is a Slightly Brown colour, which is on the Audio section; whether that indicates something wrong, I am not sure.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘reception’ in this context.

Check that you haven’t inadvertently muted the audio track(s).

Hi, I've recently had trouble with my audio reception after making edits. When I first set up my film and test it, and then discover I have to edit the audio on a separate machine, and then insert it into the film, no sound plays. Yet, looking at the soundtrack, it has the sound on it, but the actual sound does not play. This is something new to me, and I wondered if anyone has an answer to this problem? I have looked at the help line for audio, but there is no answer for Faults, etc. Thanking anyone for help with this new problem.JIM

Gordon

Has anything changed on your pc system lately?

Which format are you trying to export?

I have a problem with X6 ! if I export anything it dosen't record the sound !! The audio all works fine on the timelines before I export. This has suddenly happened and a reset has made no change.

From memory those unlocked codecs will automatically lock 30 days after installation.

Last night I installed MVPX6 V8.0 on a third machine (Win10Pro) and discovered that all codec locks except for 'Dolby digital audio encoding' and 'MPEG4 video decoding (MPLA)' were unlocked. No mfu file or reg file was used and this was before patches, which had no effect in this respect.

Given that there is no longer any access to Serif's servers, the only conclusion is that the disk had these unlocked on it unless someone can explain this differently.

MVPX6 claims to be able to use external codecs when the tick box is ticked. Does anybody know whether the current form of codecs (IE dll's) work and whether or not they have to be in a special directory?

Having read Albert Ross's piece, I would suggest an added level of security of transfer would be to create the .reg file using the .bat as advised on the Serif Legacy page as this appears to contain much more information than the .mfu file (in my case, 584 bytes vs 85) and then executing it on the new machine after all else has been done. I know this works on Win7 to Win10. The .bat file does not appear work on XP.

Note that the .reg file tells you where to look for available features. If you dare, open the registry at this location on the old machine, capture the screen and save as a .jpg. Open the registry at the same place on the new machine and it should look the same. Note also that nearby is the location of the registration key.

Remember that if you edit the registry, a complete restart is required for the contents to be recognised. Take care and back-up before editing. I would recommend the Win7 complete partition image backup.

Jim, to avoid duplication and confusion please continue with your problem in your own thread https://punster.me/serif/viewtopic.php?id=899 where I've replied.

I have the export codes, but they will not import onto a new computer or activate the MoviePlus X6. Therefore, do you need a disc to complete this?
