uninstall panasonic dvcodec at DVinfo.net

Dan Plonsker · April 9th, 2005, 11:44 AM

I've installed Panasonic DV encode and it gave me nothing but a lot of troubles with Premiere 6.5.
Now I wanted to uninstall it but there is no uninstaller.
I've tried to remove it through device manager and delete from system32 but it is not complete.
It's still in the registry and seemed to take over other codecs.
The best would be to go back to the original windowsXP codec which worked fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello Dan and welcome aboard (H)DVInfo.net!

Where did you look for the un-installer? It could be in the start
menu under the respective entry for the program. If it is not
there look under your control panel -> add/remove programs.

If it isn't there either you will need to remove it manually which
is hard. It sounds like a re-install of Windows XP (after clearing
the harddisk out) is your best bet.

Thanks Rob,
Unfortunately there is no un-installer or something in the add/remove programs. This is why I've tumbled with the problem.
In the registry it shows in many places and I'm not sure what should be written instead ( the Microsoft codec).
I've thought about reinstall XP but I'm trying to avoid it.
What I think of doing is comparing my registry to another XP system and try to figure out the differences concerning the places where the code is mentioned. Hopefully it'll work.
Thanks again,
Dan

That's certainly doable, but will take lots of time and no garantuees
it will work. Personally I would simply re-install.
