I'm sorry if I am missing something fundamental here, but I'm an idiot with computers & would like a little clarification BEFORE I screw something up & regret it.
I wish to install the Nero AAC codecs properly with my dMC 12.2 which still has 18 days left on trial. I have Windows Vista Ultimate. I have WinZip installed.
The dMC help file for this codec says...
2) Open the zip file (by double clicking on it)...
OK - I've done that & see the files in the zip file
...and open the folder win32...
Here's my big concern. What win32 folder where? I don't see a win32 folder in the Zip file. I've poked around the C drive on my computer & don't see a win32 folder there either. I REALLY need help interpreting this instruction.
...select neroAacEnc...
OK -- I see neroAacEnc.exe in the Zip file; it is one of 7 files in the Zip file & I know how to highlight it.
...and copy (Edit menu >> Copy)...
Well, I know what copy means but I'm wondering if you mean extract (see below)
...Open a new explorer window, it is important the old zip window is left open (press Windows Key + E) and browse to:
C:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpoweramp\encoder\m4a Nero (AAC)...
OK -- got that done
...In the above folder select (Edit menu >> Paste). After extracting...
Once again, am I pasting or extracting? I need clarification here...
...the following files should be present in the above folder:
encoder Text Document
Nero Bitmap Image
neroAacEnc Application
And I certainly hope they will be after I get a little help so I do it correctly. Thanks in advance... :smile2:
One more question. My assumption is that I will pay for the Reference version shortly after I assure myself that I can use it properly. Is the "registration" referred to in the above posts a different process? I don't remember doing that yet. When do I need to do that and/or do I need to do it before I get this whole Nero thing going?
Thanks again & sorry for the dumb questions.
