How to uninstall a video codec?

Lemmy · 2006-08-29, 08:34 AM

Yesterday I installed a trial of a video compression program and apparently a new codec has been installed on my computer. Every time I play a MPEG a box now pops up prompting me to pay for the new MPEG decoder and a similar message is superimposed on the video. The movies also play fucked up.

I tried uninstalling the trial SW but it refuses because the codec is in use by WMP.

If anybody knows how to deactivate a specific codec or just delete the bugger you would make my day. I even tried installing WinAmp but the same thing happens, the new codec apparently is set to default.
