Pat,
You need the codec installed on the operating system. Not in another software; it has to be available to the operating system.


I've had success installing the above mentioned format factory or K-Lite and it installed the codecs on the machine.

I've also had luck right-clicking the inf file from LAME and installing it that way, but apparently I'm one of few it worked for.

There is also a hack out there for the windows codec itself.. for the not so faint of heart.
Googling l3codecp brings it up as the top hit here.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
