Since reinstalling windows XP Pro I cannot get aucio on some AVI files. GSpot says the codec missing is 0x0215 but is unknown so cannot direct me to it nor can avicodec. This seems to be common problem on forums but I cannot find the answer. It appeared from what I have found that this codec is part of quartz.dll which I updated off the web but Gspot still cannot find the 0x0215 codec . Can anyone suggest where I can find it. Here are my installed audio codecs ACM 0x0011 Microsoft IMA ADPCM CODEC Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> imaadp32.acm ACM 0x0002 Microsoft ADPCM CODEC Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msadp32.acm ACM 0x0006 Microsoft CCITT G.711 A-Law and u-Law CODEC Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msg711.acm ACM 0x0007 Microsoft CCITT G.711 A-Law and u-Law CODEC Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msg711.acm ACM 0x0031 Microsoft GSM 6.10 Audio CODEC Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msgsm32.acm ACM 0x0022 DSP Group TrueSpeech(TM) Software CODEC DSP GROUP, INC. quartz.dll --> tssoft32.acm ACM 0x0042 Microsoft G.723.1 CODEC Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msg723.acm ACM 0x0160 Windows Media Audio Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msaud32.acm ACM 0x0161 Windows Media Audio Microsoft Corporation quartz.dll --> msaud32.acm ACM 0x0130 Sipro Lab Telecom ACELP.net audio codec Sipro Lab Telecom Inc. quartz.dll --> sl_anet.acm ACM 0x0402 Indeo® audio software Intel Corporation quartz.dll --> iac25_32.ax ACM 0x0055 Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced) Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Schaltungen IIS quartz.dll --> l3codeca.acm DMO 0x0160 WMAudio Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> wmadmod.dll DMO 0x0162 WMAPro over S/PDIF DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> wmadmod.dll DMO 0x000a WMSpeech Decoder DMO Microsoft Corporation qasf.dll --> wmspdmod.dll DSH 0x2000 AC3Filter Copyright © 2002 by Vigovsky Alexander ac3filter.ax DSH 0x0050 MPEG Audio Decoder quartz.dll DSH 0x0055 MPEG Layer-3 Decoder Fraunhofer Institut Integrierte Schaltungen IIS l3codecx.ax DSH 0x0161 Windows Media Audio Decoder Microsoft Corporation msadds32.ax DSH 0x0130 ACELP.net Sipro Lab Audio Decoder Sipro Lab Telecom Inc. acelpdec.ax DSH 0x0050 CyberLink Audio Decoder CyberLink Corp. claud.ax
As it is a common question on forums I will now answer it as I found out myself in hope it helps someone. If you use Ulead Video studio to render a movie it seems to use this codec and then if you send the video to someone else they cannot get the sound unless they themselves install the Ulead product - there seems no easy way to get it otherwise. It might be difficult to keep the codec after uninstalling Ulead but I have not tried to see if it can be done.
