AXIS Media Control - Installing AMC and Decoders
Remove H.264 Decoder
To remove the decoder:
1. Open the C:\Program Files\Axis Communications\Components folder.
2. Right-click the file AxH264Dec.dll and select Delete.
Install Windows Media Format Runtime
Windows Media Format Runtime (WMFR) is used to create high-definition Windows Media Video files. For more information 
see the Recording Tab, on page 27.
If WMFR is not already installed on your computer when you install AMC, you will be prompted to install Windows Media 
Player.
 You can wait to install Windows Media Player, but you cannot record video using AMC until it is installed. See the  
Recording Tab, on page 27.
Notes:
• WMFR is included in Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista, and will automatically be installed when you download and install XP 
SP2.
• For Microsoft Windows 2008 Server, you will need to install the Desktop Experience. See Install Desktop Experience (Windows 
2008 Server).
Install Desktop Experience (Windows 2008 Server)
To view and create video using Microsoft Windows 2008 Server, you will need to install the Desktop Experience.
1. Open Server Manager: click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and click Server Manager.
2. In the Features Summary section, click Add features.
3. Select the Desktop Experience check box, click Next, and then click Install.
