Missing Codecs, what does it mean?
Hi,
I’ve been searching for solutions to the fact that my video and audio wont’ playback in Premiere Pro (version 1.0). I got some advice to check my codecs and used Gspot to find out about them.
here are the files that were “missing” according to Gspot.
DSH IYUV ArcSoft Mpeg Writer
DSH File Dump (2 of these)
DSH Nero Video Encoder
DSH Nero Audio Encoder
DSH Stream TS StriderI have NO idea what these are or if it affects my playback problem in Adobe, nor do I know how to fix them/get them back. (Or if that would even help).
Can anyone help with this, please? Thanks so much.

Hi,
What kind/type of file are you playing in Premiere? Are the files playing in other media players? If its an AVI, you’re having a codec problem indeed.

You may need to reinstall codecs and you can install a whole lot of them with a reinstall of Windows Media 9:
Install the Windows Media Encoder 9 Series for added compression options with AVI reference and WMV file output. Windows Media 9 requires DirectX to be installed.
But some of those codecs certainly came with other tools, like your DVD burner and such. You may need to reinstall them as well.
Looks like some DLLs got overwritten or removed on your system. Did you just install something? Can you use Microsoft’s System Restore to get your system back to where it was before you did that installation?
What if there were no hypothetical questions?

You need to say what kind of file you are trying to playback, if its a AVI file like mentioned it could be any one of a gazillion types, you’re better off getting the file particulars from g-spot not whats missing

Oh, yes I’m using .avi I forgot to say.

Who knows! 🙂
The only thing I installed recently (before I started this project) was Skype. However I was able to edit just fine for a few days before the problems started happening and a project I did long before Skype ended up doing the same thing, so not sure if that’s part of it.
Thanks for the Windows Media tip, I’ll look into that.

yes I am using AVI files. What do you mean when you say I need file particulars and not what’s missing?
-
The file particulars are the type of AVI, is it a DV or a Xvid or some other type.
Now that you mentioned that you were using this type of file prior to installing other software and that you can’t use projects that were also created before the installation points to the installation stepping on something, the best thing would be to select a Restore point just prior to the installation and see if that cures the problem. -
I agree with them, reinstalling your codecs should fix the problem.
