In order to install DLL and AX files, you need to:
1. Unarchive the package and use the files from Release folder, if you're running Windows 9x/Me or Release Unicode, if you're running Windows 2000/XP.
Or from x86, x64 folders.
2. Copy DLL or AX files in system32 folder [ C:\Windows\System32 ]
3. Click on Start > Run... (type run in the search box)
- To install the files, type: regsvr32 filename.dll or regsvr32 filename.ax
- To uninstall them, use: regsvr32 -u filename.dll or regsvr32 -u filename.ax
4. In the end, you should receive a message saying that your file was succesfully installed/uninstalled.
An easy way to register/unregister [install/uninstall] the files is to use one of these little tools:
- RadLight Filter Manager - list all registered codecs and to register or unregister codecs.
- DirectShow Filter Manager: helps to list, sort, find, add or remove DirectShow filters.
- RegShell - will help you avoid the inconvenience of running regsvr32 from the start menu.
- DllRegSvr - allows to register/unregister DLL and OCX codec files using RegSvr32 tool.
- Emsegister Tool - register dll/ocx filters, codecs... and get extended file informations.
- you can find more under Fix, Repair Tools category.
Some of the more common filters

- "clvsd.ax" - PowerDVD Video Decoder filter.
