Video Codecs - Microsoft Vista Operating System ONLY : Video Files 'Backwards Compatibility'
|
- Quintic have used the MPEG4 codecs for playing and compressing
videos successfully for several years. These codecs have been
provided free as a service by Microsoft for use on Windows XP.
- However, these codecs are not supported by Microsoft for use
with Vista. If you require BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY so that you
can view videos that use the original MPEG4 codes then please follow the following nine stages:-
- LEFT CLICK on the Windows Vista Logo, save the file 'Mpg4Install.zip'
- Once the file has downloaded, open the zip file.
- Highlight all of the files and select extract all from the file menu (top left)
- Open the folder that the extracted files have been saved into.
- Please read the 'READ ME.txt' file for detailed instructions.
- RIGHT CLICK on the "mpeg4.inf" file (it should be in
the same directory as this Read Me note.)
- Choose the 'Install' option from the menu.
- Windows VISTA will ask for permission to continue.
Press continue to install the codecs.
- This will now enable videos with the MPGE4 Codec (such as those in Quintic Sample Videos) to play in Vista Operating Systems.
