Rendering problem because something set to something which value is invalid

Help.

Could someone understand the meaning of this?

Value is invalid:

It seems to have problem setting those to {B98D13E7-55DB-4385-A33D-09FD1BA26338}, which are invalid I suppose.

These are the file types that failed to run

Code:

.3g2
.3gp
.3gp2
.3gpp
.aac
.ac3
.alac
.amr
.ape
.bdmv
.dts
.dv
.evo
.f4v
.flac
.flv
.hdmov
.m2t
.m2ts
.m4a

.mpls
.mpv4
.mts
.oga
.ogg
.ogm
.ogv
.ra
.rm
.rmvb
.tp
.ts
.webm
.wv

I can't run a video because something like this will show up.

Cannot render the file:

Could someone help, please?

That value belongs to LAV Splitter. So it means LAV Splitter was not installed correctly. Did you get a registration error for the splitter? Did the installer ask for a reboot at the end?

My first suggestion would be to reboot and run the installer again.

As I stated, the error I got during installation is that the preferred source filter for X is set to {B98D13E7-55DB-4385-A33D-09FD1BA26338}, which is invalid.
No, the installer didn't ask for a reboot in the end.

I've tried restarting after uninstalling the program, but it didn't help.
I've also cleaned my registry using ccleaner after uninstall, then reinstalling the program, but the problem still exist.

Check if the following Registry keys are present on your system:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance\{B98D13E7-55DB-4385-A33D-09FD1BA26338}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{B98D13E7-55DB-4385-A33D-09FD1BA26338}

And if you have a 64-bit system also these:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance\{B98D13E7-55DB-4385-A33D-09FD1BA26338}
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{B98D13E7-55DB-4385-A33D-09FD1BA26338}

The only reason I can currently think of for those keys failing to be created is that those keys or their parent keys have incorrect security permissions set on them. Some virusses and other malware mess up the permissions.

Here is a small free tool to fix such problems:

I didn't seem to have those first two on my registry

It's not there:

And yes, I'm running a 64-bit system. And no, it wasn't there as well.
Did some malware messes this up?

I'll try using that tool.
Thanks.

The tool didn't work.. I've tried repairing it, but I still getting the error after installation.

You can hide the error messages by unchecking "Detect broken filters" at the bottom of the "Select Components" page in the installer. This won't fix anything, but saves you a lot of clicking.

Since the Registry keys are missing, we can conclude that the registration of the LAV Splitter filter was unsuccessful.

Can you check if this file exists?
C:\Program Files (x86)\K-Lite Codec Pack\Filters\LAV\lavsplitter.ax
(there should be a total of 12 files in that folder)

See what happens if you manually register the file.
Start > Accessories > Command Prompt > Right-click on it and select "Run as Administator" > then run this command:
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\K-Lite Codec Pack\Filters\LAV\lavsplitter.ax"

It should say "DLLRegisterServer in ... succeeded" and the Registry keys should have been created.

I've checked all files in C:\Program Files (x86)\K-Lite Codec Pack\Filters\LAV\lavsplitter.ax
and they're all there. (twelve files)

I tried to manually register the file, but it shows OleInitialize failed.
While registering those though, my svchost kind of weighing down my CPU a bit.

Here's the SS.

OleInitialization Failed.:

Do a scan for broken Windows system files. Run this command from an Administrator command prompt:

sfc.exe /scannow

According to Microsoft documentation, the error message that you get belongs to a Windows XP version of regsvr32.exe. The message should have been a bit different on Windows 7.

Check the version of your regsvr32.exe files. It should be 6.1.7600.16385. (right-click > properties > details)
C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32.exe

The only causes for this error that I could find are:
- damaged system files
- low system memory

It would also be interesting to know if the error only happens with lavsplitter.ax or also with other filters from the pack, such as lavvideo.ax or vsfilter.dll.

So I've done the sfc.exe /scannow on my command prompt and it shows this:

sfc.exe /scannow:

It tells me to open CBS.log, but the log is very long.. I couldn't comprehend what's wrong in there.

My regsvr32.exe caught a virus a year ago, and I replace it with something I could find on the internet. (I've checked it on virustotal first to make sure and it's clean)
The problem is, in my system32 dir the regsvr32.exe has the right version, as stated, which is version 6.1.7600.16385. But on my SysWOW64 dir, it has version 4.0.0.0.
Is this wrong?

What would be the indicator of damaged system files and low system memory? And how to check them?
I have 8 gigs of RAM, and it runs just fine playing video using codecs before.

How do check if I have problem with my lavvideo.ax or vsfilter.dll? I've shown the SS on my 3rd post, and it's all still there.

You can filter out the important parts of the CBS.log files with this command:
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log > "%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

Copy the test here and maybe I can help more.

I have uploaded the correct regsvr32.exe files for you:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/2ya2xq

Repairing all damaged files will probably solve this problem.

I can't post my CBS.log here.. it's too long
I post it on my drive if you don't mind.
sfcdetails.txt

Where should I put this regsvr32.exe? On my existing system32 dir or SysWOW64 dir?
I didn't see there's two folders in it

The zip file contains two copies of regsvr32.exe. One for each system folder.

Here are most of the other files:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/n8c5d6

The rest is not really important.

Okay I've done that. Although I've met with permission issue while copying on system32 dir, the others seems fine.
If I may ask, what these has to do with the rendering issue I had in the first place though?

It's probably really the regsvr32 or something else, but it now WORKS!!
Thanks!!

The other files are not really related to the codec installation problem. But fixing them is a good idea anyway, specially msiexec.exe which is used by other types of installers.

You can solve your permissions issue by taking file ownership.
Right-click on file > Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner > change to "Administrators"
Also on the "Permissions" tab, give Administrators group "Full access".
