Michael,
Maybe the problem is where your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc contains two l3codecp.acm keys: One with the full path specified, and one without. This will probably cripple Freez. I'm confused, if you have run my patch (chortkeh-fix-mp3-codec.cmd), the patch would have successfully deleted the one with the full path (C:\Windows\System32\l3codecp.acm). I'm guessing you were neither logged in as Administrator, nor ran my patch as administrator.

I am using the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec with two different programs, VirtualDub 1.9.9 and Freez Screen Video Capture 1.2.

After installing the codec and successfully running the patch, VirtualDub finds the codec, but Freez does not. The registry reveals:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc:

Name: Type: Value:
ac3filter.acm REG_SZ AC3Filter ACM codec
ac3filter64.acm REG_SZ AC3Filter64 ACM codec
C:\Windows\System32\l3codecp.acm REG_SZ Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec
ff_vfw.dll REG_SZ ffdshow Video Codec
l3codecp.acm REG_SZ Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Audio Layer-3 Codec (professional)
wdmaud.drv REG_SZ SB Live! 24-bit
xvidvfw.dll REG_SZ Xvid MPEG-4 Video Codec

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
msacm.l3acm REG_SZ l3codecp.acm

The registry key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AudioCompressionManager

...does not exist.

The key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\{33D9A761-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86}\

...exists, but is empty.

Running Vista w/SP1, and SystemInfo shows the MPEG Layer-3 Codec (version 3.4.0.0) is installed properly.

I have used the codec with Freez before, but I am having this problem since I had to reinstall everything, so my hard disk is relatively clean.

Can you help?

Thanks in advance, and thanks for a VERY helpful and informative site.

Peter, the Fix should work with Windows 7 x64 English. You need to check your Registry using RegEdit.exe to see if those keys are there.

Also check the following registry key out:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\{33D9A761-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86}\85MPEG Layer-3

It's where the ACM wrapper for the MP3 codec is defined as ACM ID 0x00000055 (85) and its friendly name is specified via FriendlyName string value.

The ERROR message is shown because you "used it a few times." In fact, you shouldn't see the error during the first run of the Fix on an unfixed installation of Windows. Once patched, the ERROR message will be shown during further runs of the Fix, but meaning no harm.

What you're looking for in VirtualDub is "MPEG Layer-3" (MP3 codec's FriendlyName) inside "Select audio compression."

Today I needed to enable the l3codecp.acm (Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec Professional) in Windows 7 x64 to encode something in VirtualDub 64-bit. The patch described above worked like a charm in Windows 7 64-bit.
