How to select MainConcept DV decoder in AE?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

When I import DV clips in After Effects 6 on Win2k, it always says
"Microsoft DV". I'd like to try my MainConcept DV codec instead
because it has some special decoder features, but how do I select it?
I tried disabling the MS codec with "regsvr32.exe /u qcap.dll", but
nothing changed.

Try VCSwap.
You can control all your video codecs with it. I have to use it if needing
to use Premiere insead of Avid, since Premiere doesn't "like" the
MainConcept codec for some reason, so it has to be disabled.

That's a nifty utility, thanks, but unfortunately it manipulates only
VfW codecs, and the Microsoft DV decoder seems to be DirectShow.
