Using the MMCompView utility

This utility is a standalone executable. It doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. Just run the executable (mmview.exe) and all installed multimedia components will be displayed.

Disable and enable multimedia components

If you install multiple Codec packages and other multimedia software on the same computer, you might find out that some multimedia files are not played properly as before. This problem is occurred if Windows Media Player uses the codec or filter of the newly installed multimedia software. If you install a new Codec package and something goes wrong, you can try to fix the problem disabling the newly installed components.

Command-line options

/stext <Filename>	Save the details of all multimedia components into a regular text file.
/stab <Filename>	Save the details of all multimedia components into a tab-delimited text file.
/stabular <Filename>	Save the details of all multimedia components into a tabular text file.
/shtml <Filename>	Save the details of all multimedia components into HTML file.
