It's MPEG2, but that does not matter.
The Elecard decoder should have installed a folder in the start menu,
allowing you to register and unregistered the decoders. If you do not see
it, the easy thing to do is reinstall the Elecard software, and then
uninstall it.

> Somehow I installed a trial DVD/mpg4 codec on my system. Not sure how
since I already had DVD player software on my PC. However Media Player 9
defaults to it and the trial has expired. This creates a scroolling message
in Media Player at the bottom of the screen "This codec has expired". It
also creates a wierd dancing square that bounces annoyingly all over the
screen.
