Would it be possible to get the "Detect broken codecs and filters" feature to produce a reg file with all suggested adjustments? The reason is that it would be easier to manually apply or unapply the fixes that way. If not, is the Codec Tweak Tool open source so that I can enable that feature myself?

This would make it easier for semi-advanced users like me to find out the cause for problems with the broken codec/filter detection. For example, which change that the current 4.0.7 suggest that breaks WMA2 for XP 64-bit and WMP11, and possibly other DirectShow filters.

Update: Or on the other hand, it may not be necessary. I found the problem, the 'Detect and remove broken DirectShow filters' feature looks in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID in the 64-bit registry when it should look in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\Wow6432Node. For example the 'WMVideo Decoder DMO' filter has these registry entries in XP 64-bit with WMP11:


and on a 64-bit Windows the tool looks for HKCR\CLSID\{82d353df-90bd-4382-8bc2-3f6192b76e34}, doesn't find it, and if you press OK it deletes the HKCR\DirectShow\MediaObjects\82d353df-90bd-4382-8bc2-3f6192b76e34 and HKCR\Wow6432Node\DirectShow\MediaObjects\82d353df-90bd-4382-8bc2-3f6192b76e34 keys so that WMVDECOD.dll stops working.

I think this problem only occurs on XP64. It works fine on Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64.
