uses the PICVideo MJPEG codec to provide software-based video
compression. The Avid|DS Setup program installs the codec automatically,
but cannot uninstall it. To complete the uninstallation of the standard
definition version of Avid|DS, use the following procedure to remove the
PICVideo MJPEG codec.
To remove the PICVideo MJPEG codec
1. Click the Start button and choose Settings > Control Panel > Sounds and
Multimedia.
2. Select the Hardware tab.

4. Click Properties.
5. Select the Properties tab.

If you uninstall Avid|DS before uninstalling the plug-ins, the
uninstall procedure will fail.
If you cannot uninstall some plug-ins, continue with the next one
until completion, and then manually delete the \Plug-In folder. Use
the Windows Find utility to help you locate any \Plug-In folders.
