Activate codecs

Special encoders/decoders are needed to use and generate various file formats.

Why is activation required?
To import (decode) or export (encode) certain video and audio formats you will
require a specific codec to be able to read in and export these formats. As soon as a
corresponding decoder or encoder is needed, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro will notify you
and ask you if you would like to activate it.

The integration of decoders and encoders from third parties into programs usually
costs the software publisher money. These codecs are therefore added to
MAGIX programs via a voluntary activation, which may be free or require a charge
for expensive specialist codecs. It is therefore possible for MAGIX to provide an
optimum price/performance ratio for your software in the future.

Which codecs does this pertain to?
The following codes are automatically activated when needed:
• MPEG-2/MPEG-4 basic (standard)
These codes are needed for importing and exporting MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 videos.
The codecs are activated simultaneously and are free.
Use cases:
- MPEG-2: MPEG-2 import and export as well as burning DVDs and Blu-ray
discs.
- MPEG-4: MPEG-4 import and export as well as burning AVCHD discs.

You can also activate the following codecs:
• MPEG--2 (MainConcept)
This codec can also be used for MPEG-2 (Standard). Activation is free.
• MPEG-4 (MainConcept)
This codec can also be used for MPEG-4 (standard). Activation is fee-based (view
page 326).
