g729 codec

[makaveli86]

now i've been reading about the g729 codec that is suppose to enhance the voip experience, only problem is i cant seem to find a way to install it. i have the g729.acm file, i read that i'm suppose to paste that in the /windows/ directory... after that i'm suppose to manipulate the registry, but i cant seem to find those keys in mine...was this codec only for ppc's?

This is the registry key for the gsm610 codec:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\CODEC_GSM610]
"Prefix"="ACM"
"Dll"="gsm610.acm"
"Order"=dword:0
"Flags"=dword:2Perhaps you should add:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\CODEC_G729]
"Prefix"="ACM"
"Dll"="g729.acm"
"Order"=dword:0
"Flags"=dword:2Can you attach the g729.acm file?

It should be installed (unless the CODEC_G729 definition is wrong). But I don't know how to see if it's being used. :(

Thanks for the attached file.

no there was no CODEC_G729 registry key...i manually created it :S the GSM610 one was there, but not the g729...did you have yours installed already?

I know there was no CODEC_G729 key. I said that I'm not sure if CODEC_G729 is the right name, or it should be CODEC_GSM729 or something similar. No, I did not install the codec - I have no use for it. :)
