Activate additional functions
You can activate encoders/decoders for various file formats as
required. The corresponding activation dialog will appear
automatically when the codec is used for the first time, e g. for the
MPEG4 codec when importing MPEG4 videos.
Why does it have to be "activated"?
To import (decode) or export (encode) certain video and audio
formats, you will require a specific codec. MAGIX Video Sound
Cleaning Lab will ask you if you want to activate the codec as soon
as you need it. The integration of decoders and encoders from third
parties into programs usually costs money. These codecs are
integrated via additional, voluntary activation in MAGIX programs
which, according to usage and degree of prevalence, can be free or
fee-based for special high-quality codecs. This way, MAGIX can
continue to be able to provide you with optimum value for money for
your software.
Free activation (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Dolby
Digital 2.0 & 5.1)
To be able to use MPEG-2, MPEG-4, the Dolby Digital stereo import,
and Dolby Digital 5.1, you will have to activate the codec for free.
Activation can be done online via telephone or via post/fax. The
quickest and easiest way to order an activation code is via the
Internet.
Order activation code online
Click on "Order online..." (Field 1). MAGIX Video Sound Cleaning Lab
will automatically contact the MAGIX server and load the
corresponding codec.
Note: Activation of the codec checks the registration data as
required. Activation of the codec only functions if your version of the
program has already been registered in your name. If you haven't
registered MAGIX Video Sound Cleaning Lab, then you can do this at
any time.
If your computer has no Internet access, you have the following
options for activation:
