    Thanks to asm495 and xs4all for their impressive and hard work we finally have H.264 decoding in VMC.

    Download mirrors (x86):

    Instructions:

    1. Take ownership of the file (File -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Owner -> Edit then select yourself.
    2. Give yourself full control over the file (File -> Properties -> Security -> Edit then select Users and check the box for Full Control.
    3. Run Command Prompt as administrator. Then type "regsvr32 -u msdtvvdec.dll" and hit Enter.
    4. Rename MSDTVVDEC.DLL to MSDTVVDEC.DLL.BAK
    5. Copy Beta DLL to the system32 folder and type "regsvr32 msdtvvdec.dll" in Command Prompt and hit Enter.

    It's a real shame there isn't a fix to this as it looks as if I will be losing BBC HD for no real reason.

    Microsoft - is there any way you can release an unlocked version of this DLL for use at our own risk please?

    Thanks.

    I never even managed to find the time-bombed x64 for testing. A 'sneaky' release would surely be appreciated ;)

    I thought all you needed was a compliant decoder set as default such as one from Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra 7, PowerDVD Ultra 8 or Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre. For what its worth I have heard reports of BBC-HD working without the above mentioned Beta .dll.
