List all installed multimedia codecs


Listing all installed multimedia codecs is an easy task if you use the software Installed Codec from Nirsoft. The software scans the registry in two places looking for installed codecs displaying them afterwards in a list that can be sorted in a few different ways.

The main purpose of Installed Codecs is to be able to find out which codecs that have been installed lately are interfering with other codecs that have already been installed on the PC. This can be done by sorting the codecs chronologically and disabling those that have been installed lately.

Some understanding of video and audio codecs is helpful as well because it would not make sense to disable audio codecs when analyzing a video playback problem.

Installed Codec does not have to be installed and can be run from any place. It takes a few seconds before the list of all installed codecs is populated. A right-click opens a menu with options to enable and disable codecs, save items and create html reports.

The location of the installed codec is mentioned in the properties as well which makes it easy to delete it instead of just disabling it. Installed Codec is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista.
