5 FFDShow codec needs Administrator rights - ID: 1848674

Last Update: Comment added ( rover_007 )

Details:

Hi,

I have just installed FFdShow ver 1.0.5.1656 in my XP Pro SP2.

The installation proceeds fine in Administrator's account. Testing using
Real Player 11 and Media Player 10 when running in Administrator account
works fine and the FFDshow Audio and Video decoder tray icons are showing.

However, when I run the above players in LUA (Least-Privilege User
Accounts) or as normal users, they fail to play the same media file and the
FFDShow decoder icons are no where to be seen in the tray area.

I believe it is because FFD Show does not comply with the Windows Security
Model and hence does not work when used as normal user.

Thanks.

All my machines are set up to run in LUA (Least-Privilege Users Account) arrangement. There is no write error of any sort. The tray icons for FFDShow do not appear and the WMP and RealPlay 11 could not handle the MPEG-2 file. If I launch WMP or RealPlay in an Administrators' account, they play the same file. Now I am using a different codec "CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7)", which does not exhibit this problem.
