Hello,
I've made a small VJ utility with Gem and sent it to a friend, who has then installed Pd-extended on his Windows XP machine (Pd-0.39.2-extended-RC1-windowsxp-i386.exe). After doing that, he has problems with Windows Media Player Classic, that he uses with DivX, Xvid, RealAlternative and QuicktimeAlternative codecs.
My guess is, that Pd-extended installs dll files that overwrite the previously installed codecs. Is this a known issue/bug and can he safely install the old codecs again?
I'm guessing that, because Gem cannot read any movie file, and that seems to be the same problem with WMPC now.
Thanks, Thomas

Pd-extended does not install DLLs into the globally accessible place
(i.e. \WINDOWS\system32) They are all installed into Program Files\pd
\bin. These are the DLLs that are installed, the only one I think
might have a conflict is msvcp71.dll.
libogg-0.dll libsndfile-1.dll libvorbis-0.dll libvorbisenc-2.dll libvorbisfile-3.dll msvcp71.dll pd.dll pdtcl.dll pthreadGC2.dll tcl84.dll tclpip84.dll tk84.dll
It sounds like your problem lies elsewhere. From what I have seen,
QuicktimeAlternative is a big kludge, so I am not surprised it would
break. Try VLC player, it's a great media player that happens to be
free:
