Hey, I ran GSpot and changed the video codec I was using to fix a bug that caused Age of Empires 3 to crash. It fixed the game, but now none of my videos will work. Also, when GSpot tries to scan a codec, it DirectShow crashes and gives me this error:

Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.

This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow. GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.

The codec was tentatively identified as:

Unknown audio codec #22

Anyone have any ideas for fixing this?
