Activate additional functions
You can activate encoders/decoders for various file formats as required.
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 Xtreme PhotoStory on CD & DVD 8 deluxe 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.
