⚠ IMPORTANT UPDATE: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ⚠ I would like to inform you that Microsoft has recently decided to discontinue the availability of the free version of the codec on the Microsoft Store. This decision comes after several years of being aware of my video, during which they finally realized the reason behind the declining popularity of the codec. It's quite amusing, isn't it? 🤣 However, this development should not cause significant distress, as there are alternative options to fulfill your video playback needs. One highly recommended solution is to download Video Lan Media Player (VLC), a versatile media player that offers a wide range of built-in adaptive codecs. Whether you're dealing with cutting-edge formats or obscure vintage files, VLC has got you covered 😈. To ensure a secure download, make sure to visit the official website at www.videolan.org/vlc/. Additionally, if you possess an RTX card from Nvidia, you can take advantage of VLC's support for Nvidia's AI upscaling feature 👍. Nonetheless, if your intention is to obtain codecs that allow you to use any media player of your choice, I suggest installing the K-LITE codec pack, available for download at codecguide.com/download_kl.htm. With this pack, you can customize your selection according to your preferences, starting from the standard pack containing commonly used codecs, all the way up to the ultimate pack, encompassing a vast array of codecs you could ever imagine. If you found the information provided in this video description helpful, I kindly request you to reach out to me on Twitter @barnacules and share your feedback. Your support motivates me to continue updating legacy videos in the future, ensuring that they remain relevant and useful to all viewers 🤗

It still takes me to the MS Store but they lie and tell me that the app won't work on my device. I'm actually having issues with HEVC while trying to do video editing with Pinnacle Studio 26. Any suggestions?

Free HEVC needs a code in 2020. This video no longer valid without it.

So, Microsoft can remove any feature of the OS any time they feel like it, and then charge you to get it back? Sounds pretty shady.

Hey Barnacules, I hope you see this message, I'm the manager for a computer and phone repair store. I just so happen to get a new toy of a laser machine made for removing the rear glass of the new iPhones. Apple decided they wanted to use heat resistant glue so you cannot simply heat the back off for removal, like you can with androids. I would absolutely love to fix that cracked back for you! I've followed you for years and since you provided so much information to me that I'd love to give something back! I'll cover all repair and shipping cost if you are interested.

I can confirm this. The laser machine, mixed with replacement back glass that has a larger hole for the rear camera is the cheapest method for replacing it. I have done several by hand with a heat gun, the heated plate method at 250 C°, the laser machine, and full frame swaps. I personally liked the frame swaps like they do at Apple as it is easier to reseal the phone but for cheaper the laser machine does great.

VLC is amazing and even linked in the video description. However, the built in codec supports HDR which I use down stairs playing back stuff on the Windows Store netflix app and the Movies & TV app and plus it heavily utilizes the GPU which I found VLC was a bit more CPU heavy out of the box. But it's still amazing and I recommend it to anyone that can't figure out what codec they need. I would stay away from the K-Lite codec packs though, they tend to drag down performance and cause issues with Explorer when generating thumbnails.

Another thing Microsoft done is remove 5.1audio output from some hardware. I can't enable 5.1 audio out on the optical out on my MSI X470 Gaming plus. I can't enable 7.1 audio on my TurtleBeach Z260 either. Until Windows 10 1903 I was able to enable 7.1 audio on my headset but the option is no longer there. I tried different drivers for my motherboard audio but I can't enable 5.1 audio on the sound out. Its just showing stereo out when I select configure audio.

I like your sense of humor, and the great info! Subscribed!

HA! What a coincidence! I was prompted to buy the codec yesterday, while editing on my new setup, but I did not buy it. Just got it via your link now:) Rendertime went from 3 minutes down to 1 minute on that clip I was working on!

apparently this no longer works....it asks for you to redeem a code now, so it appears you have to pay?

I did not pay for the movie, what makes them think I would pay for a codec.

Good to see you back in action, J. I loathe Windows but still got a kick out of this one. Future video topic: Raspberry Pi 4 has a single lane PCIe to facilitate USB 3.0 but some clever souls have ripped off the VL805 chip to access the PCIe connections underneath and wire in a real PCIe slot externally. I wanna see your take on that. Do you think there could be a third party mod soon where the PCIe channel is brought out but leave the VL805 intact?

Oh wow, that worked a charm, thanks Jerry! I wish you would make videos more often, i miss seeing your craziness
