How to install/uninstall a codec?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop,comp.os.ms-windows.video,comp.multimedia (More info?)

I have Adaptec AVC-2010 video capture card and myDVD software for
creating video. After replacing motherboard on my PC - each time I try
to record a video - it is recording upside down. I searched the
Internet and found that the simplest solution is to stand on the head
to watch video, the more difficult solution have to do something with
codecs.

My questions:
1. how to install/uninstall a codec?

2. using AVIcode program I found that upside-down recorded video is
using MPG2 = MPEG 2 (SVCD/DVD) codec, but when I go to Start -
Accessories - System tools-System information - Components -
Multimedia - Video codecs, I don't see this codec.

Any idea how to solve this upside-down problem?

Thanks,

Zalek

Try a better capture program, Sage TV Recorder used
to be mentioned as good for that card. Too bad they aren't
still shipping the AVC-2000, then you could use Movie
Mill like I do. Check at www.videohelp.com and read the
user comments for that card, they often point out better
capture software.

That is a Hardware MPEG encoding card, the codec it
uses is in the firmware/hardware.

Luck;

Problem solved.
It was not a codecs problem. When I look on Start-setting-control
panel-system-hardware-device manager I noticed a problem with Video
adapter. I reinstalled video adapter drivers and now only when I stand
on my head the picture is upside down.
